Balance of payments figures published on 4 June 2024 were corrected on 14th June. The correction, which pertains to one of the components of the current account balance – more specifically, the primary income balance for Q1/2024 – affects the current account deficit. According to the new figures, the deficit is 4.9 b.kr. smaller than previously estimated. The adjusted current account deficit is therefore 35.9 b.kr., as compared with the previously published 40.8 b.kr.
