Net Export
A country’s net export of goods and services measures the difference between exports and imports, the gap between domestic production and domestic demand. If net exports are negative they imply imports are greater than exports, measuring the contribution of foreign suppliers to meeting domestic demand. Negative net exports are typically referred to as a trade deficit, positive net exports are typically referred to as a trade surplus.
