Definition
The trade balance (Current Account) is a major item on a country's balance of payments statement, which records the inflow and outflow of funds between a country and foreign countries due to factors such as imports and exports of goods and services, investment income, income from other goods and services, and other factors.

Why It Matters
Export demand and currency demand are directly related to trade balance data because foreigners must buy the country's currency to pay the country's exporters they do business with; export demand also has an impact on the production and prices of domestic manufacturers.
