Data released by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) on Thursday showed that the balance of trade in goods fell 50.3% to a $1.776-billion deficit in October from the $3.572-billion deficit the same month last year and the $1.782-billion deficit in September. A deficit indicates that the value of a country’s imports exceeded export receipts, while a surplus indicates more export shipments than imports.
