Preferred term

terms of trade  

Definition

  • A country's terms of trade refer to the relative values of its exports and imports. When the terms of trade are good, a country sells, on average, relatively high-valued commodities (e.g., manufactured goods) and imports relatively low-valued ones (e.g., agricultural products).
