Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

A country's national saving is the total of its domestic savings by households and companies(private savings) as well as the government savings(public savings) . If a country is running a trade deficit , it means money from abroad is entering in the country and is considered as part of supply of financial capital.The demand for financial capital (money) represents groups that are borrowing the money .Business need to borrow to finance their investment in factories, materials, and personnel.When the federal government runs a budget deficit , it is also borrowing from investors by selling Treasury bonds. So both business investments and federal government can demand the supply of savings..The national saving and investment identity provides a useful way to understand the determinants of the trade and current account balance.

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
