What is Trade Deficit?

A trade deficit is when a country imports more goods and services than it exports. Thus, the country’s import expenses outweigh its export earnings.

For example, if a country imports $50 million worth of goods and services but only  exports $25 million worth of goods and services, the trade deficit is $25 million. 

Differences in prices and government policies are significant causes of trade deficits.
