Canada's current account deficit narrowed by $1.6 billion in the second quarter to $15.9 billion
Canada's current account deficit (on a seasonally adjusted basis) narrowed by $1.6 billion in the second quarter to $15.9 billion. A lower deficit on trade in goods more than offset higher deficits on trade in services and investment income in the quarter.
In the financial account (unadjusted for seasonal variation), strong foreign investment in Canadian private corporate bonds led the inflow of funds in the quarter.
The deficit on international trade in goods and services narrowed by $2.2 billion to $12.3 billion in the second quarter, the lowest deficit in a year.
The goods deficit fell by $3.3 billion to $5.3 billion in the second quarter, led by a higher surplus with the United States.
The goods surplus with the United States rose by $3.4 billion, mostly on stronger exports. Meanwhile, the deficit with non-US countries widened by $0.1 billion to $16.3 billion. On a country basis, the largest improvements to trade balances were with China, Hong Kong and Switzerland, while the most important declines were with United Kingdom and South Korea.
