English term or phrase: trade-off between external and internal markets
"Export performance, though, somewhat tarnished what would otherwise be a remarkable response to trade liberalization. Exports were slow to respond. After signs of a strong recovery in 1992-94, export growth moved into a downward trend, reversed for only a brief period in 1997. More to the point, despite the reduction in trade bias, a substantial TRADE-OFF BETWEEN EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL MARKETS prevailed during the period, with firms switching to domestic sales whenever local demand picked up.

I know what trade-off means but I can't figure out how to translate it in this context.

Suggestions appreciated,
