Solution
A deficit trade balance for Country X.
Explanation:
In country X, inflation indicates increasing manufacturing costs, which leads to higher pricing. As a result, exports become more expensive while imports become less expensive. It will result in a decrease in exports and an increase in imports. If a country's exports are less than its imports, the country will have a trade deficit.
