Given this information, what is the value for the imports of goods?
Sometimes this question generates some weird numbers. Remember that you would always add the values in a category to get the total. So the total for the Financial Account is always Capital Inflow + Capital Outflow and the Trade Balance is always Exports + Imports for this table. It's just that sometimes those values being added are negative. If you get a negative answer, you should enter in the negative.
