Greece's current account surplus in June nearly doubled from a year ago, figures from the Bank of Greece showed Friday.
The current account surplus rose to EUR 1.01 billion from EUR 508.9 million in the same month last year.
This development was mainly due to improved balances of the primary and the secondary income accounts, the bank said.
The primary income account showed a surplus of EUR 145.8 million versus a deficit of EUR 22.7 million in the same month last year.
Similarly, the secondary income swung to a surplus of EUR 111.6 million from a EUR 95.5 million deficit in the year-ago period.
The merchandise trade deficit narrowed to EUR 1.41 billion from EUR 1.47 billion a year ago. The surplus in the services trade fell to EUR 2.15 billion from EUR 2.30 billion last year.
During the January to June period, the current account deficit narrowed to EUR 2.50 billion from EUR 3.88 billion a year ago.
