Everything about The Visible Balance totally explained
The
visible balance is that part of the
balance of trade figures that refers to
international trade in physical goods, but not trade in services; it thus contrasts with the
invisible balance.
Most countries don't have a zero visible balance: they usually run a surplus or a deficit. This will be offset by trade in services, other income transfers, investments and monetary flows, leading to an overall
balance of payments. The visible balance is affected by changes in the volumes of
imports and
exports, and also by changes in the
terms of trade.
In aggregate, the World often appears to have a negative visible balance with itself; for example imports of goods appear to exceed exports. There are numerous causes for this, such as measuring imports on a
cost, insurance and freight basis while measuring exports on a
free on board basis, or statistical errors occurring when imports are more closely recorded than exports.
