29 October 1998, 8.3 BN ECU EURO-ZONE SURPLUS WITH REST OF THE WORLD IN JUNE 3.2 bn for the EU15 The Euro-zone1 had a trade surplus with the rest of the world of 8.3 billion ECU this June. This gave a total surplus of 32.8 bn for January-June, down 3.4 bn on the same period last year. Extra-EU trade was 3.2 bn in surplus in June. But there was a surplus of only 0.6 bn in the first six months compared to 16.1 bn in January-June last year. The figures come today from Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities in Luxembourg. Strong growth January-June Extra-trade growth in first six months of this year was stronger for imports than exports for both the EUR-111 and EU15. And, after several years of lagging behind external trade, that within the single market is now growing at the same rate. EU trade with USA was well up in the first six months (+16% for both exports and imports over same period a year earlier). Effects of the situation in Asian financial markets can be seen in a fall in exports to Japan (-14%) and Hong Kong (-7%). But imports from both these countries continued to grow strongly (+16% and +21%). As a result the trade deficit with Japan rose strongly to -17.3 bn ECU in the first six months. In January-June, Germany still enjoyed the largest surplus (34.4 bn ECU), while the UK deficit rose strongly to -18.8 bn. Ireland continued to show strong growth, with a rising surplus.
