The Goods Trade Balance represents the difference between the value of a country's exported goods and its imported goods over a specific period. A positive value indicates a trade surplus, while a negative value indicates a trade deficit. This indicator focuses exclusively on physical merchandise and excludes services, providing a clear view of the industrial trade health.
It is calculated by subtracting the total value of imported physical goods from the total value of exported physical goods. The data is sourced from customs records and is often reported on a seasonally adjusted basis.
