Pourquoi c’est important
Exports are a big part of demand for open economies (Germany, China, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands). A larger surplus means more foreign demand for the South Korean won; strong imports signal domestic demand. China's figures are read as a gauge of world demand.
Mode de calcul
Customs records the value of goods crossing the border; services come from surveys. The balance is exports minus imports, usually seasonally adjusted.
Trade balance = exports − importsCe que signifient les variations
- Look at exports and imports separately: a wider surplus from collapsing imports is a sign of weak domestic demand, not strength.
- Exchange-rate moves take months to affect trade volumes (the J-curve).
Supérieur aux attentes : A larger surplus (or smaller deficit) than expected tends to support the South Korean won.
Inférieur aux attentes : A smaller surplus (or larger deficit) than expected tends to weigh on the South Korean won.
Un bref historique
Trade balances were the obsession of mercantilism in the 16th–18th centuries; David Hume's price-specie flow mechanism (1752) explained why surpluses tend to correct themselves.
