The euro zone's adjusted current account surplus widened a touch in September as a rise in primary income offset a small drop in the trade surplus, data from the European Central Bank showed today.
The surplus increased to €31.23 billion in September from €30.81 billion in August.
Based on unadjusted figures, it increased to €40.78 billion from €33.74 billion.
In the 12 months to September, the euro area's current account surplus widened to 1.2% of the bloc's GDP after a deficit of 0.2% in the preceding 12 months.
