Description

The difference between a country’s exports and imports of goods.

The trade balance measures the difference between a country’s exports and imports of goods over a period. A positive trade balance (surplus) indicates that exports exceed imports, contributing to economic strength, while a negative balance (deficit) suggests the opposite, potentially affecting currency value and economic policy.
