The analysis of which was made through the application of Karl Pearson's coefficient of Correlation and Multiple Regression. The study found that exchange rate accounts for 18% variations and external debt accounts for additional 53% variation in the outcome variable. It was further indicated through the results that if all the selected independent variables remain constant, then there are other factors which explain current account deficit up to 3243.382 units.
