This indicator tracks the month-over-month percentage change in the value of goods and services purchased from abroad. It serves as a barometer for domestic demand and the purchasing power of local consumers and businesses. While high imports can widen a trade deficit, they often signal a robust and growing domestic economy.
The total value of imported goods and services for the current month is compared to the previous month's total. The data is seasonally adjusted to account for predictable monthly variations in trade patterns.
