Balance of Trade (BOT)

  • Balance of Trade (BOT) refers to the difference between the value of a country’s exports and imports of goods only.

Balance of Payments (BOP)

  • BOP is a systematic record of all economic transactions between a country and the rest of the world in a year.
  • It includes current account, capital account, official reserves, and errors & omissions.
