U.S. external balances Relative Growth Rates In 1990, U.S. economic growth slowed noticeably, and by the fourth quarter the economy slipped into recession (table 1). In comparison with the fourth quarter of 1989, little real growth occurred in consumer spending or in producers' durable equipment expenditures (excluding computers). The economic slowdown tended to depress the growth of U.S. demand for imported goods and services and to reduce the profits earned by foreign direct investors in the United States.

On an aggregate level, there are several useful indicators of price competitiveness. One overall measure of pressures on price competitiveness is the real exchange rate: that is, The real exchange value of the dollar is calculated using weighted the nominal exchange rate adjusted for relative nominal exchange rates adjusted with weighted consumer prices. The weights in the indexes are proportional to each country's share in world inflation. The trend in the real exchange value of exports plus imports during the years 1972-76.

The increase in the value of exports was almost matched by the increase in the value of imports (table 2). Moreover, a comparison of the trade balance in the fourth quarter of 1990 with that in the fourth quarter of 1989 shows no improvement at all. For the most part, the U.S. trade picture continued to improve, but oil market developments masked this improvement in 1990. Excluding oil imports, the U.S. trade deficit decreased $17 billion—less than the $23 billion improve- 1982 1984 1986 1988 1990 ment in 1989, but still substantial.
