The surplus of the current account in the euro area is declining to 27.7 billion euros

The European Central Bank data showed that the run -up surplus of the 20 euro region countries declined in July 2025 to 27.7 billion euros after the seasonal amendment, compared to 35.8 billion euros in June. As for the non -modified numbers, they indicated a surplus of 35 billion euros, a decrease from 38.9 billion euros in the previous month.

The report made it clear that the decline is mainly due to the shrinking of the surplus in the services sector and the decline in the initial income, which includes the profits of companies, benefits and transfers. Throughout the twelve months ending in July 2025, the current account surplus is equivalent to 2% of GDP, compared to 2.6% during the same period last year. The current account is a basic indication of the strength of the euro zone economies and its ability to achieve surpluses of trade and services. The recent decline raises questions about the slowdown in global demand for European services and the decline in corporate profits in light of the continued high financing pressures after years of cash tightening of the European Central Bank.
