France’s current account deficit narrowed to a seasonally adjusted €1.5 billion in August 2026 from a downwardly revised €3.9 billion in the previous month. It marked the smallest shortfall since April, driven by a narrower goods trade deficit, which fell to €5.3 billion from €6.8 billion, while the services surplus widened to €4.8 billion from €3.8 billion. Meanwhile, the primary income surplus was broadly unchanged at €4.2 billion, and the secondary income deficit remained steady at €5.1 billion. In the first eight months of 2026, France’s current account deficit narrowed to €10.3 billion from €17.2 billion in the corresponding period of 2025.
