Balance of payments of Luxembourg for the first half of 2018

The Central Bank of Luxembourg (BCL) and STATEC inform that, according to preliminary provisional results, the current account for the first half-year of 2018 showed a surplus of 1.6 billion euros, which decreased by 573 million compared to the same period of the previous year. Higher surpluses in goods, services and secondary income did not manage to offset the worsening in the deficit of the primary income, particularly that of investment income.
