il est [...] préférable de suivre les fluctuations du taux de couverture des importations par les exportations. Généralement exprimé en pourcentage, ce rapport(des exportations aux importations) présente l'avantage de ne pas voir sa signification affectée, au même degré que celle du solde, par l'imperfection des mesures : il est plus facile d’admettre la réalisation de l'«équilibre» des échanges pour un taux de couverture différent de 100% que d’accepter la constatation d’un déficit de la balance retraçant une situation «réelle» d’équilibre ou d’excédent. Surtout, le taux de couverture permet de suivre l'évolution relative des deux flux composant le commerce extérieur sans être, comme un solde, sensible aux variations absolues de leur masse. 2, record 1, French, - taux%20de%20couverture
