Trade Balance by Country (Current US$)

The external balance on goods and services measures the difference between the value of a country's exports and its imports of goods and services in a given year, expressed in current US dollars. A positive balance indicates a trade surplus, meaning a country sells more to the rest of the world than it buys, while a negative balance indicates a trade deficit. The dataset covers 184 countries and territories with values from 2020 to 2025 and shows how surpluses and deficits have shifted across the world economy over this period.

Among the 138 countries with 2025 data, 58 recorded a trade surplus while 80 recorded a deficit. China alone accounts for a substantial share of the total surplus of all countries with positive balances, reflecting the scale of its exporting economy. The United States, which recorded a deficit of 898.5 billion dollars in 2024, and Japan, with a deficit of 37.4 billion in 2024, do not have 2025 figures in this dataset and are therefore not included in the 2025 ranking.

Largest Trade Deficits in 2025

India recorded the largest trade deficit of goods and services in 2025 at 68.9 billion US dollars, followed by the Philippines with 66.7 billion and Ukraine with 56.8 billion. The United Kingdom recorded the fourth largest deficit at 50.6 billion, ahead of Egypt (42.7 billion), Iran (31.7 billion), Pakistan (29.4 billion), and Bangladesh (26.1 billion).

In the Americas, the United States has no 2025 figure, with its latest available balance showing a deficit of 898.5 billion US dollars in 2024. Among countries with 2025 data, Peru records the largest trade surplus at 27.2 billion, followed by Chile with 14.8 billion.

The statistics are based on the World Bank World Development Indicators dataset, indicator NE.RSB.GNFS.CD (External balance on goods and services, current US$). The main comparison uses 2025 data where available, covering 138 of the 184 countries and territories in our dataset. For countries without a 2025 observation, the latest available year is noted where relevant, but earlier years are not substituted for missing 2025 values in the ranking. Values are expressed in current US dollars and are not adjusted for inflation. Missing observations are treated as missing, not as zero.

How many countries are included in the dataset?

What does the trade balance measure?

It measures the difference between the value of a country's exports and imports of goods and services, expressed in current US dollars. A positive balance is a surplus; a negative balance is a deficit.

Are the figures adjusted for inflation?

No. The values are expressed in current US dollars, meaning they are not adjusted for inflation. Changes over time can therefore reflect changes in volumes as well as changes in prices and exchange rates.
