澳大利亚报告经常账户赤字137亿美元,由商品价格下跌和进口增加所推动。 Australia reports a $13.7 billion current account deficit, fueled by falling commodity prices and increased imports.

澳大利亚的经常账户已出现第九笔直线赤字,第二季度总额为137亿澳元。 Australia has recorded its ninth straight current account deficit, totaling A$13.7 billion in the second quarter. 这主要是由于商品价格下跌,尤其是铁矿石和煤炭价格下跌,以及进口,特别是服务业的进口增加。 This is mainly due to falling commodity prices, especially for iron ore and coal, and a rise in imports, particularly services. 尽管如此,预计本季度的净贸易将略微推动国内生产总值的增长。 Despite this, the net trade in the quarter is expected to slightly boost GDP growth.
