Current account, main components, net balance - annual data, % of GDP

The Current account provides information about the transactions of a country with the rest of the world. It covers all transactions (other than those in financial items) in goods, services, primary income, and secondary income which occur between resident and non-resident units. The data are expressed as % of GDP. The financial flows are marked as a credit, a debit or a net balance. The current account together with the capital and the financial accounts forms the Balance of Payments (BoP). The indicator is based on the BoP data reported to Eurostat by the EU Member States. Definitions are based on the IMF's Sixth Balance of Payments Manual (BPM6).经常账户（Current Account）可提供一国与世界其他地区的交易往来信息。其涵盖常住单位与非常住单位之间发生的全部货物、服务、初次收入及二次收入相关交易（金融项目交易除外）。数据以占国内生产总值（Gross Domestic Product, GDP）的百分比形式呈现。相关金融流量将被标记为贷方、借方或净差额。经常账户与资本账户、金融账户共同构成国际收支平衡表（Balance of Payments, BoP）。本指标基于欧盟成员国向欧盟统计局（Eurostat）报送的国际收支平衡表数据编制。本次所用定义依据国际货币基金组织（International Monetary Fund, IMF）发布的《国际收支手册第六版》（BPM6）。
