The current account balance showed a surplus of 1.6 billion
euros ($2.08 million) from a deficit of 102.8 million euros in

Tourism receipts rose 2.9 percent year-on-year to 2.498
billion euros in August. In the first eight months of the year,
tourism receipts declined by 3.4 percent to 7.464 billion euros
year-on-year.
