The data displays the trade balance of goods (exports minus imports of goods) in Russia from 2007 to 2017. A positive value means a trade surplus, a negative trade balance means a trade deficit. In 2017, the trade surplus of goods in Russia amounted to about 115.33 billion USD.

Russia has maintained a positive trade balance over the last 10 years, but in 2009, Russian exports slumped significantly due to the economic crisis. Since then, Russia has recovered and the country reports a greater surplus now than it did prior to the crisis.
