This research analyzes the factors that affect the trade balance in 12 APEC countries because trade balance is one of the important factors for economic growth. The level of prosperity and economy of a country can be measured by its active trading activities. This activity can be a source of income for countries. So, it can be said that the strength of a country’s economy is its trade. Through trade, a country can establish diplomatic relations with other countries. This research uses panel data model with trade balance as a dependent variable, and gross domestic product (GDP), foreign direct investment (FDI), and inflation as independent variables. This research uses data from 2011-2020. The result is that GDP does not have significance with the trade balance, FDI has a positive significance for trade balance, and inflation has a negative significance with trade balance.
