本文是一篇国际贸易论文，笔者认为贸易是21世纪经济中非常重要的问题。它在满足人类需求的同时，对各国的经济发展起着至关重要的作用。与许多其他区域组织一样，南盟自成立以来一直在努力改善经济，消除贸易逆差，使自己成为区域经济强国，但由于许多贸易阻碍，其成员国正面临贸易逆差。要将其主要转移到成员国，就需要改善其工业，提高其产品质量，发展结构，并减少出口税。
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Research Gap of the Study
In the present globalized world total depend on any country is on its foreigntrade. Defiantly it is trade which is giving a country a leading role in world andmaking it as a world economic power. While all those countries that has foreign tradeis not balanced are economically weak. At present globalized world all thosecountries are poor who are facing trade deficit. As all SAARC members areunderdeveloped economies therefore it needs to have surplice trade but unfortunatelyare members of SAARC are facing huge trade deficit which is also its main cause ofpoverty. There are many determinants of trade deficit in SAARC countries includingweak industries, high rate of taxes, high export duties, weak infrastructure, lack ofscientific methodologies in industries, uncompetitive products, and lack of access tointernational market. Many individual studies have been conducted on the matterconcerned but an organized and systematic study yet could not be done which couldexplore trade deficit and its determinant in SAARC countries. Though SAARCcountries have also signed free trade agreement but did not implemented full mostlybecause of India and Pakistan rivalries. Pakistan and India are the big and powerfulcountries of SAARC therefore this organization has been dominated by India andPakistan. This study is proposed to explore systematically the trade deficit of SAARCcountries and critically examined its determents.

1.2 Significance of the Study
Economy is the backbone of present-day nation-states and key for individualprosperity and overall, all development of any state or nation. There are many meansto grow and expand the economy of a state to make it a big economy. Among thesemeans trade is most important one. In present globalized world no country issufficient to fulfill its routine indigenous needs therefore export the goods which aremore than its need and import which the state concerned is lacking. Trade deficit isthe difference between these two. The critical world economic review shows thatthose countries are wealthier and economically strong who has no trade deficit whilethe rest are poor. Like other regions SAARC countries are economically weak mainlydue to trade deficit. It needs to overcome the trade deficit to improve its economies,decrease its dependency over others, bring prosperity and remove poverty as allSAARC countries are fighting war against poverty. Half and in some case more thehalf of the population of these countries are living below the poverty line. Therefore,this study will be very important on two levels i.e. state level and individual level aswell. Before this proposed study no one conduct research study neither on SAARCcountries trade deficit nor on its determinants. Moreover, this study willsystematically study trade deficit of the SAARC member as well as its determinantstherefore its results and conclusion would be a significant element to the establishedInformation body on the problem concerned. It would also help SAARC statesovercome trade deficit, to improve their economies and would ultimately contributeto prosperity.

2.1. Determinants of Trade Deficit
In contrast with different locales, South Asia's fares incorporate an abnormallyenormous portion of work serious makes. India appreciates the best situation in thearea regarding a moderately differentiated fare structure with its main 20 warebunches representing just 43 percent of fares. Be that as it may, the structure of faresin various SAARC part nations has experienced huge changes in the on-going past.An empowering highlight is that their assembling yield has been relentlesslyexpanding.
