Expert Solution
Step 1

The statistical discrepancy is the amount by which the total of current, capital, and financial accounts is away from zero, with the reversed sign. 

For example: If the sum of current, capital, and financial accounts is 200, then the statistical discrepancy will be -200.

----------------------------------

Current account balance = Export of goods and services - Import of goods and services + primary income receipt - primary income payments + Unilateral transfers received - Unilateral transfers received

=> Current account balance = Export of goods and services - Import of goods and services + primary income receipt - primary income payments + Net Unilateral transfers 

Note; Net unilateral transfer =Unilateral transfers received - Unilateral transfers received

=> Current account balance = (107,941 + 44133) - (132484 + 29443) + (36,063 - 29750) + (-8349)

=> Current account balance = -11889

 ------------------------------

Finacial account balance = Net incurrence of liabilities  - Net acquisition of financial assets

=> Financial account balance = 54471 - 20972 = 33499

---------------------

Capital account balance is -63 (Given)
