Trade: Deficit or Surplus

by **GOLTZBORG** » Fri May 13, 2011 3:17 pm

Does your nation have a trade deficit, or a trade surplus ?
( either you import more than you export, or visa versa )

We have a Trade Surplus.

In recent history Xanthal has run a net trade deficit, which is currently about $2 trillion annually.

We try to maintain a trade deficit of 2% per annum.

deficit

Hmm... the data on the amount doesn't seem to be available, but we tend to have a significant trade surplus, one of the biggest in Europe.

Most of it is related to our protectorate, Monteblanc, which generally runs a similar deficit.

We most certainly have a trade surplus. We nearly refuse to import any goods at all. We're highly Economically Isolationist.

A deficit of $526.3 billion.

We have a huge trade surplus.

72% of all goods consumed in Scorpionyte are produced inside the country. All other goods are met with heavy unappealing taxes.

Most of this surplus comes from the Scorpionyte State of Nihil, usually nicknamed as the Production State, where there is a huge industry of mineral extraction, industrial production and agriculture. Nihil is named the "Production State" because it is the most filthy capitalist state, where 81% of all inhabitants live in poverty, and 10% are industry fat cats.

About even. Minoa has a lot to export like wines and services but we also require just as much imports such as technology parts (well, some of it are actually manufactured in Minoa).

Huge trade surplus. but this is only because of outrageous tariffs and unreasonable nationalism.

That much profit means more money, which means devaluing your currency.

All I know is my currency is more valuable than yours.

Explain further, my good man (is that better? :roll:

Our Trade Surplus/Deficit fluctuates wildly between the years; yesterday it was a surplus, today is a deficit.

EDIT: I checked yesterday, and it was a surplus; now its a deficit again.

Deficit all the way.

by **Former Principalities** » Fri May 13, 2011 4:53 pm

Well, at the moment we are running rather large trade deficits, but we're trying to turn the deficit into a small sustainable surplus, as we've been running a trade deficit for some time now.

by **Tashkveny** » Fri May 13, 2011 4:57 pm

We currently have a trade deficit of around 4%
