BALANCE OF TRADE

BY DOMINIQUE X2, ALAYSIA, JOSE, ALDO

Balance of trade: the relationship between a nation's imports and exports
Importance: by balancing trade, a nation can protect the value of its currency on the international market.

Trade surplus: nation exports more goods than it imports
Trade deficit: nation's imports more than it exports

Appreciation: an increase in the value of a currency
Example: buying a good from Europe relatively cost more
Depreciation: a decrease in the value of a currency
Example: buying a good from China relatively cost less

Exchange rate: the value of one currency for the purpose of conversion to another
Example: US $ = 1.1050
