Euro Area Current Account Surplus Reaches €265 Billion by Q2 2026

The European Central Bank reported the euro area's current account surplus at €265 billion, or 1.6% of GDP, for the four quarters ending Q2 2026. This represents a decrease from the €304 billion surplus (1.9% of GDP) recorded a year prior. The reduction is primarily attributed to a smaller surplus in goods and an expanded deficit in secondary income.
