Terms of trade of EU member countries in the context of changing primary commodity prices
- In this paper, the terms of trade of EU member countries are presented and the reasons for their movements are discussed. The assumption is made that the diverging terms of trade development of industrialized countries is due to their differing specialization in specific export sectors and the corresponding price developments of these exported goods. The dynamics of primary commodity prices have an effect on the terms of trade of many European countries, therefore the long-term price developments of selected primary commodities are of interest. Illustrated in this context are the long-term price developments as well as the primary commodity terms of trade of the most important primary commodities, together with the underlying reasons for these trends.
