trade balance

the amount of goods and services that a country exports, minus the goods and services that it imports *in a calendar year*. In 1999 Japan exported much more than it imported, so it had a trade surplus. The same year, the United States imported more than it exported, and therefore had a large trade deficit.

The trade balance is negative if a country runs a trade deficit, and positive if it runs a trade surplus.
The trade balance is an extremely important indicator of economic health for most countries. Typically (not not always) the value of the currency is strongly influenced by the trade balance also.

trade surplus

the amount of goods and services that a country exports, minus the goods and services that it imports *in a calendar year*. In 1999 Japan exported much more than it imported, so it had a trade surplus. The same year, the United States imported more than it exported, and therefore had a large trade deficit.

While Japan had a trade surplus and the USA had a trade deficit, both had something called a trade balance, which was negative for the USA and positive for Japan.

A country can have an overall trade deficit (like the USA in all years since 1980) and still have trade surpluses with individual countries (e.g., the USA occasionally has trade surpluses with Brazil).
Usually, when a country runs a trade surplus it tends to export the excess foreign currency back to the deficit country as portfolio investment. In this way, the foreign currency retains its value.

Trade Tech

Best place to learn a Technical Trade and get a well paying job, especially as an architectural draftsman, A/C repairman, Diesel engine mechanic, electrician, plumber or welder. The low cost of classes is a bargain, one of the best kept secrets in California's Higher Education.
If you need to learn 3D BIM CAD, just take CAD62 at Trade Tech. You will meet people there who will help you find a job. The alumni is great helping you get connected to the industry. You won't be able to find a similar class at USC, UCLA, Sci-Arc or Pomona, where they expect you to learn on your own or already know 3D CAD.
