Imports YoY (Year-over-Year) measures the annual percentage change in the value of goods and services purchased from abroad. This indicator provides insights into domestic demand and consumer spending power. While high imports can widen a trade deficit, they often signal a robust domestic economy where consumers and businesses have the capital to purchase foreign products.
Calculated by comparing the total value of imported goods and services in the current month to the same month in the previous year, adjusted for seasonal variations.
