Reading this series

The current account includes trade in goods and services, income and transfers. A negative balance is a deficit and a positive balance a surplus. The GDP ratio alone does not establish whether the position is good or bad.

Country desks use the same observations as the all-countries pages. Displayed observations use each economy’s latest published year, which can differ between economies. Missing observations are not zero and are not interpolated or carried forward. Source revisions appear after a rebuild.

The Country selector changes desks. Chart and Table show the same selected series; range and zoom controls change the view without recalculating observations. Source names and licences identify the producers. The figures are historical information, not forecasts or recommendations.

The euro area is the World Bank EMU aggregate. It is republished as supplied, not calculated by adding the country figures shown here.
