When exports are higher than the country's import, then it is Trade deficit
- Trade deficit is the situation where a country's export is higher than its import.
- This happens when the country relies more on foreign goods and exports a very less amount of its own goods.
- It can be taken as a short term and long term trade deficit.
- In short term deficit, it actually becomes advantageous for the country. They could consume more goods from the foreign countries and reduce their domestic production.
- But in the long term, it will be a great disaster for the country. When a country keeps on borrowing goods from its exports, it lead to a high payment problem.
- Trade deficit is beneficial only for those countries whose economic situation is unstable and facing a crisis.
- But countries with good growth potential facing a trade deficit may lead them to a Balance of Payment crisis.
Overall, the economic situation can not be predicted during uncertainties. There should be a control line upon which decision should be taken.
