Balance of trade

The International trade balance indicator is the difference between exports and imports of goods. Exports of goods record flows from an EA/EU Member State to a non-EA/EU country while imports record inwards flows. Exports are expressed in value terms and measured free on board (FOB), while imports are expressed in value terms and measured "cost, insurance, freight" (CIF ). "Goods" means all movable property including electric current. Data are expressed in million euros. Data are presented in the calendar and seasonally adjusted form.

国际贸易收支指标（International Trade Balance Indicator）指货物出口与进口的差额。货物出口指货物从欧元区/欧盟（EA/EU）成员国流向非欧元区/欧盟（non-EA/EU）国家的跨境流动，进口则指货物向内流入的流动情况。出口以价值计量，采用船上交货价（Free On Board, FOB）标准核算；进口同样以价值计量，采用成本加保险费、运费（Cost, Insurance and Freight, CIF）标准核算。“货物”指包括电流在内的所有动产。数据以百万欧元为单位表示。数据以经日历调整及季节性调整后的形式呈现。
