  1. trade deficit

    A trade deficit is an economic measure of international trade where a country's imports exceed its exports. It is an economic situation that typically indicates a country is spending more on imported goods and services than it is earning from its exports. Also known as a negative balance of trade (BOT), a trade deficit can lead to job losses in industries impacted by foreign competition, but it can also indicate a strong economy that can afford to buy more than it sells.
