The balance of trade surplus - is the difference between the amount of produced and exported production, and the amount of imported production. Simply speaking the balance of trade surplus can be calculated according to this formula:
Trade balance = Export – Import

If the process is opposite and the trade balance is in shortcoming, then there will surely be some deficit and of course it will have a bad influence on the economical state, national currency and confidence in country’s lending activity. The trade balance is measured in the currency that the indicator was calculated from. Consequently, the Japanese trade balance is measured in Japanese yens. It is referred to the first group of the most significant indicators and is considered to be one of the most important indicators of economic successfulness.
