The difference between exports and imports of goods and services. A minus means imports are larger.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 1960 to 2025.
Top-20 · US$
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

The balance of foreign trade in goods and services: exports minus imports. This is the largest part of the current account but not the whole of it — investment income and remittances do not enter the trade balance, and for countries with large transfers the two indicators move in opposite directions. A surplus is not in itself a sign of a healthy economy: a country importing equipment for construction will run a deficit precisely because it is investing in growth.
Important: Goods and services together. For countries with large service exports — tourism, transport, software — the merchandise balance can be negative while the overall balance is positive.
The value of goods shipped out and of services provided to non-residents, in US dollars.
Trade 1960–2025 Imports of goods and servicesThe value of goods brought in and of services received from non-residents.
Finance 1980–2031 Current account balance in US dollarsHow much more a country receives from abroad than it pays out there. A minus means it pays more.
Trade 1960–2025 Trade opennessExports plus imports as a percent of GDP — total foreign trade turnover.
