Balance of trade (BOT)
Largest component of a country's current account in its balance of payments (BOP) accounts, it shows the difference between export earnings and import expenditure. Called 'favorable' when the amount realized from physical (or tangible or visible) exports is more than the amount spent on physical imports, otherwise called 'unfavorable.' Also called trade balance.
Usage Example
Vision of postwar world free trade, which also involved lowering tariffs and among other things maintaining a balance of trade via fixed exchange rates that would be favorable to the capitalist system.[citation needed] Thus, the more developed market economies agreed with the U.S.
