FRANKFURT – The euro zone’s current account surplus narrowed in February as a higher services surplus was not big enough to offset a rise in goods imports, European Central Bank data showed on Wednesday.

The currency bloc’s seasonally adjusted balance of payments surplus narrowed to 34.3 billion euros in February from 40.3 billion a month earlier, while the unadjusted figure showed an increase to 33.1 billion euros from 18.0 billion euros.

In the 12 months to February, the surplus equalled 2.7% of the bloc’s GDP, up from 2.0% in the preceding 12 months.
