2017-609-E CANADA–SLOVENIA DEFINITIONS Balance of payments–based data: Balance of payments–based data calculate trade flows using surveys of international trade and investment activity of firms and other entities.

Balance of trade: The trade balance is the difference between the value of exports and the value of imports.

There is a trade surplus if the value of exports exceeds the value of imports.

There is a trade deficit if the value of imports exceeds the value of exports.
Customs-based data: Customs-based data are compiled from declarations filed with the Canada Border Services Agency and are used to track the flow of goods into and out of Canada.

Foreign direct investment (FDI): FDI occurs when an investor residing in one country holds at least 10% equity in an enterprise resident in another country.

The stock of FDI is the value of the accumulated equity owned by investors abroad; the stock changes from year to year based on flows of FDI.
Gross domestic product (GDP): GDP measures an economy’s total production in a given year.

As one entity’s income is another entity’s spending, GDP is equal to the total value of final sales or to the total value of incomes.
Manufactured goods: Manufactured goods are finished or semi-finished products resulting from the transformation of materials and substances into new products (North American Industry Classification System, or NAICS, codes 31 to 33) and the output of establishments primarily engaged in operating electric, gas and water utilities (NAICS code 22).
Merchandise trade: Merchandise trade refers to trade in physical goods, such as cars, wheat and iron ore. Purchasing power parity (PPP): To adjust for price differences across countries for identical products, a calculation of GDP that uses PPP assumes that a given product has the same price in each country.
Resource-based goods: Resource-based goods are products of the agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting sector (NAICS code 11), as well as the mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector (NAICS code 21).

Services trade: Services trade is trade in travel, transportation and government, and commercial services.

Travel services are goods and services purchased abroad by travellers, with one exception: cross-border transportation.
Transportation services are the transportation of goods and cross-border travellers, and related services.

Government services arise largely from official representation and military activities, and some governmental commercial activities.

Commercial services are all other services, such as management, financial or engineering services; the category also includes charges for the use of intellectual property.
