SITUATION WHEN A COUNTRY IMPORTS MORE THAN IT EXPORTS?

When a country imports more than it exports, it experiences a trade deficit. This situation can arise due to high domestic demand for foreign goods, lack of competitive local industries, or a stronger currency making imports cheaper. While a trade deficit can indicate robust consumer spending and access to a variety of products, it may also lead to increased foreign debt and economic vulnerabilities if sustained over time. Long-term trade deficits may require adjustments in economic policy to promote domestic production and reduce dependency on foreign goods.
