Good Morning, Students!

 

Trade Balance refers to the difference between the total value of a country's exports and its imports over a specific period. It is an important economic indicator that reflects a nation's economic health, showing whether it has a trade surplus (exports exceed imports) or a trade deficit (imports exceed exports). The trade balance influences a country's currency value, economic policies, and overall economic stability.

 

Monitor your country's trade balance to understand the impact of global trade on your investments.
