About the indicator

The current account balance of the balance of payments as a percent of GDP from World Bank data. It duplicates the IMF indicator in meaning but rests on a different source and carries no forecast part — useful for cross-checking: noticeable divergences between the two series usually point to a revision of the statistics.
