English translation: trade chain

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:corrente comercial
English translation:trade chain

Portuguese term or phrase: corrente comercial
This actually gives an explanation in the text 'corrente comercial total (soma das importaçoes e da exportaçoes). Would this be 'total trade balance'. The text also refers to 'saldo comercial'. Is this another way of saying the same thing or does it have a different meaning?

Many thanks in advance for any input.

Best,

Louise

balance of payments


Explanation:
From comparing these two Wikipedia pages I am convinced the term refers to the balance of payments.

Example sentence(s):
  • a conta corrente, que registra as entradas e saídas devidas ao comércio de bens e serviços, bem como pagamentos de transferência;
  • The current account shows the net amount a country is earning if it is in surplus, or spending if it is in deficit. It is the sum of the balance of trade (net earnings on exports minus payments for imports), factor income ...
