Country comparison
Terms of Trade by Country
The terms of trade is the ratio of export prices to import prices. Improvements (export prices rising faster than import prices) raise national income and typically support the currency; deteriorations weigh on it.
Why compare Terms of Trade across countries?
Terms of trade are one of the cleanest medium-horizon drivers of commodity-currency FX (AUD, NZD, CAD, NOK, BRL). Sustained ToT swings can drive multi-quarter trends in the relevant pair through the trade and income channel.
How to read the country list
Watch year-over-year change. Compare with the home-currency TWI for the FX feed-through and with current_account_balance for the external-position implications.
