The 2005 trade surplus more than tripled to $102 billion, the General Administration of Customs said on Wednesday, issuing precise figures for data that had already been approximately calculated earlier in the week.
My question :
Does that mean the 2005 trade suplus is $102 billion, more than three times the amount of that in 2004?
Top answer
Yes. It means (if you do the math) that before 2005 the trade surplus was less than $34 billion. CJ
