Savings Rate Differential Theory of Trade Balance

Definition

Trade deficits and surpluses are determined by differential savings rates between countries, not by exchange rate manipulation or currency suppression. High savings means more domestic production than consumption, leading to export surpluses; low savings means more consumption than production, leading to import deficits. A country with high savings will run trade surpluses even with a strong currency, while a country with low savings will run deficits even with a weak currency.
