The forecasts published yesterday by the ECB for the euro area indicate that weak economic growth will continue over the remainder of this year, with growth strengthening over the next two years. Inflation will gradually converge on its target rate of 2% over the same period.

In the first seven months of 2024, the current account of the balance of payments showed a surplus of 2.1 billion EUR, which is 0.2 billion EUR more than in the same period of 2023. The majority of the surplus comes from service trade (2.0 billion EUR), which remained at a similar level as last year. The goods surplus amounted to 0.5 billion EUR, a year-on-year decrease of 0.2 billion EUR. In July 2024, the current account surplus reached 0.6 billion EUR, mainly due to a significant surplus in goods trade (0.3 billion EUR).
