The European Union's current account surplus dropped to $90 billion in the second quarter, according to figures reported by Anadolu Agency.
The surplus equaled 1.6% of the EU's gross domestic product for the period, the report said.
The current account balance is a key indicator of a region's trade and financial position with the rest of the world, reflecting the difference between its exports and imports of goods, services, income and transfers.
A declining surplus can reflect shifts in trade dynamics, energy costs or broader economic conditions affecting the bloc's international transactions.
Further details on the specific factors behind the second-quarter decline were not included in the available report.
