dent

English to Portuguese Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Although US merchandise exports have grown at around 5 per cent a year, imports have grown at between 8 and 9 per cent a year. As a result, the United States has an enormous merchandise trade deficit of $580 billion, a figure hardly dented by the small surplus in commercial services trade.
