About the indicator

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.
