Trade Balance is calculated as the difference in value between imported and exported goods and services. If the national exports exceed imports, a positive balance is formed. Otherwise there is a trade deficit. The Trade Balance is a measure of Germany's economic development. Import is an indication of domestic demand; export shows external demand. A positive trade balance can have a positive effect on euro quotes, because exporters need to buy the EU currency in order to pay to manufacturers.
