CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE SOME EXAMPLES OF AUTONOMOUS ITEMS IN BOP? I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD MENTION IT IN A BROADER SENSE THAN IN THE STUDY MATERIAL.

Dear Student,

Good job Samana. Yes, ​autonomous items in BOP means those transactions/items that are undertaken irrespective of the status of BOP. For instance, exports and imports would be undertaken irrespective of what the status of BOP is. Contrary to this, accomodating trnsactions are those that are undertaken to rectify the disequilibrium in BOP as caused by the autonomous transactions.

autonomous items refer to economic transactions with ROW (rest of world) which take place due to economic motive for maximising profits. these are independent of the country's BOP situation..
example..if an MNC is buying shares in India with the aim of earning profit, then such a transaction is independent of the country's BOP situation.
