Xinhua, March 20, 2015 Adjust font size:

The 28-nation European Union (EU) seasonally adjusted external current account surplus recorded a surplus of 15.8 billion euros (17 billion U.S. dollars) in January, up from 13.1 billion euros in the previous month, the EU statistical office Eurostat said on Friday.

The adjusted data also showed the surplus of the current account rose on a year-on-year basis from 6.4 billion euros in January 2014.

Compared with December 2014, based on seasonally adjusted data, the surplus of the goods account and primary income account both increased, while the services account remained nearly stable and the deficit of the secondary income account increased.
