“US Trade Deficit [brightpointinc.com] is an interactive graph that depicts the U.S. annual trade surplus/deficit information for each of the top 10 countries for each category (surplus/deficit). The countries that are in surplus (adding cash to the US economy) are along the top, while the countries along the bottom show the corresponding trade deficits (that are taking cash out of the US economy).
The dataset was gathered from census.gov and comprises statistics from January 1998 until October 2008. More information can be found at the author's personal blog [twgonzalez.com].
As a Belgian, it is curious to see Belgium, as the only West European country, frequently pop up in the list of surplus cash flows, between relatively dissimilar countries like Panama, Jamaica, Chile, Qatar, Honduras, Bahamas, and others. I am not sure what Belgians continuously are buying from the U.S., but it seems to be worth a lot.”
