| Category: US Trade Deficit This category includes articles that discuss the balance of trade of the United States, usually with regards to such topics as foreign holdings of US dollars, US credit markets, and the flow of funds. The balance of trade (or net exports is the difference between the monetary value of exports and imports of output in an economy over a certain period. It is the relationship between a nation’s imports and exports. A positive balance of trade is known as a trade surplus and consists of exporting more than is imported; an negative balance of trade is known as a trade deficit or, informally, a trade gap. The balance of trade is sometimes divided into a goods and a services balance. [Wikipedia] US Trade Deficit By John Schroy, on April 9th, 2006 |  One comment  When the Sage of Omaha, Warren Buffet, fretted last year that the trade deficit signified that foreigners were taking over the United States, he echoed common misunderstandings about the excess of US imports over exports and the growing volume of dollar assets held by the rest of the world.

Since the trade deficit increased 18.3% in 2004 and 15.1% in 2005, the current rate of increase seems to indicate slower growth in the trade imbalance.
