But there are complications…. • Not all FACTOR INCOME is spent on US goods. There are leakages from income. What do you think these are?: • Taxation - taken from wages and off the price of goods (VAT) etc • Savings – households may not spend all their income • Imports – households and firms may spend on imports. ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE LEAKAGES FROM US INCOME

These LEAKAGES reduce the circular flow of income WHY ? They represent money leaving US Income : • Taxation goes to government. • Savings are put into bank accounts. • Import spending goes abroad.
INJECTIONS In contrast, there are 3 forms of spending that are injected into the flow. Injection: Additions of extra spending into the circular flow of income These are ; • Government Spending • Investment • Exports What are each of the above? • Government spending is money spent by the government on NHS, defence, benefits, education etc. • Investment is money spent by firms on capital goods. • Exports are goods sold by US firms abroad N.B Injections come from outside of the circular flow. They increase the circular flow.
