Trade Balance Non-EU is calculated as the difference in value between imported and exported goods and services. Exports to EU countries and imports from them are excluded from calculations.

If the national exports exceed imports, a positive balance is formed. Otherwise there is a trade deficit. A positive trade balance can have a positive effect on British pound quotes, because exporters need to buy British currency in order to pay to manufacturers.
