If a nation exports much of its output but imports little, will it be better or worse off? how about the reverse? what if a nation exports little but imports a lot?

This is the situation of countries like Germany,

Where exports > imports...
The results is definitely good for the country. It will increase its trade surplus. This allow the country to amassed a huge number of foreign reserves which they can use to invest abroad..

While countries that import > exports, will experienced trade loss/deficit (just think it like the reverse)

What is the question
