The terminology ignores that exports drain resources while imports satisfy domestic needs, and reflects instead the association of exports with either accumulation of wealth or jobs.Similar MatchesImprove the terms of tradeImprove the terms of tradeTo increase the terms of trade; that is, to increase the relative price of exports compared to imports.
