The tables appearing in this chapter show a geographical

breakdown of the current account. The data cover 66 individual

countries as well as international organisations. These estimates

are generally less firmly based than the world totals, and data

for earlier years are less reliable than recent figures. In some

cases estimates are unavailable for the first few years.

Changes to the pattern of trading associated with MTIC fraud

can make it difficult to analyse trade by country as changes in

the impact of activity associated with this fraud affect both

imports and exports. Originally, most carousel chains only

involved EU member states. From 2004 in particular, some

carousel chains included non-EU countries, for example, Dubai

and Switzerland. However, the MTIC trade adjustments are

added to the EU import estimates as it is this part of the chain

that is not generally recorded. For more information, see the

methodological notes relating to chapter 2.

Data are presented as if the EU expanded to 27 countries on

1 January 1999.

Current account by region

Current account surpluses were recorded with the Americas

and Australasia & Oceania in all years for which data are

available (1992 onwards). In contrast, the UK has recorded a

rising current account deficit with Europe, particularly from

2003, reaching £57.0 billion in 2007. The current account

surplus with the Americas fell slightly from the previous year to

£20.3 billion in 2007. There was a surplus with Asia for the

years 1995 to 1997 but an overall deficit in all years since then.

The current account deficit with Asia widened to £15.1 billion

in 2007, with imports of goods from China at £18.7 billion,

£3.4 billion higher than in 2006.

In 2007, around half of the value of current account credit and

debit transactions were with the 27 European Union (EU)

member states. EU countries accounted for over 80 per cent of

current account credits and debits with Europe. By component,

trade in goods accounted for 37 per cent of the value of

current account credits and 46 per cent of the value of debits

with Europe, with income accounting for around a 40 per cent

of credits and 36 per cent of debits.

The Americas accounted for around a quarter of total credits

and a fifth of total debits in 2007. Income and goods

transactions together accounted for 75 per cent of credits and

82 per cent of debits with the Americas. The United States of

America (USA) was the most significant country, representing

over three quarters of total current account credits and debits

in the region.

Asia accounted for 13 per cent of UK current account credits in

2007, down from 17 per cent in 1997, largely due to the region

accounting for a lower proportion of total income receipts.

Similarly, Asia accounts for a lower proportion of total UK

debits in recent years, also due to income. The largest

component of current account debits was imports of goods,

which at £59.9 billion represent 58 percent of the total debits

with the region in 2007. While Japan remains the UK’s largest

current account partner country in Asia, transactions with

China have grown the fastest in recent years, largely due to

increased exports and – particularly – imports of goods.

The current account with Africa was in surplus until 1999, with

the first deficit being recorded in 2000. In 2007 the deficit

increased to £3.0 billion. These deficits have mainly been driven

by higher imports of goods to the UK.

Current account with EU27, USA and Japan

A current account deficit has been recorded with the EU27 in

every year for which data are available (1999 onwards), with

the exception of 2001. Broadly speaking, surpluses on the

income account are offset by deficits on all the remaining

components of the current account; however, trade in services

has been in surplus for three of the last four years and the

income surplus has declined over the same period. In 2007 the

balance with the EU fell to a deficit of £39.6 billion, largely due

to a rise in imports of goods from EU countries.

The current account deficit with the EU narrowed from

£8.8 billion in 1999 to a surplus of £1.1 billion in 2001 before

increasing rapidly to a deficit of £39.6 billion in 2007.

The trade in goods and services deficit with the EU increased to

£36.9 billion in 2007, largely due to higher imports of goods

from Germany and the Netherlands. Net income received from

the EU grew from £5.1 billion in 1999 to £18.7 billion in 2002,

before falling back to £2.9 billion in 2007. The deficit on

current transfers has remained relatively stable since 1999,

typically at between £4 and £6 billion. The main components

of current transfers are payments to, and receipts from, EU

institutions.

The USA is consistently the single largest counterpart country

within the UK’s balance of payments, representing 20 per cent

of current account credits and 17 per cent of debits in 2007.

There has been a current account surplus with the USA in all

years for which data are available. Prior to 2000 these were

typically between £1 billion and £5 billion, whereas the most

recent periods have seen significantly higher surpluses. In 2007

the surplus was £13.1 billion, with a £6.6 billion deficit on

income, offset by a £6.3 billion surplus on trade in goods and a

£13.6 billion surplus on trade in services.

The UK has recorded a current account deficit with Japan in

every year for which data are available, peaking at £7.2 billion

in 2000. The deficit narrowed to £2.7 billion in 2007.

When ranking individual countries by the size of the current

account balance in 2007, the largest surpluses were recorded

with: the United States of America (£13.1 billion), Ireland

(£9.9 billion), Luxembourg (£5.2 billion), Australia (£5.0 billion)

and Switzerland (£3.1 billion).

The current account has been in surplus with the USA since the

geographic split of the data began in 1992. The surplus with

Ireland is largely due to exports exceeding imports of goods

and services; while the surpluses with Luxembourg and

Australia are driven by a positive balance on income.

When ranking individual countries by the size of the current

account balance, the largest deficits were recorded with:

Germany (£25.8 billion), China (£14.4 billion), Norway

(£10.2 billion), Netherlands (£6.1 billion) and France

(£3.3 billion).

The largest current account deficit was with Germany, with

imports of goods exceeding exports of goods by £19.8 billion,

combined with a deficit on income of £8.1 billion, being partly

offset by a surplus on trade in services of £2.0 billion. The

deficits with China, Norway, the Netherlands and France are all

mainly a result of trade in goods deficits; there are also

significant deficits with the Netherlands on income and with

France on trade in services.
