From the Release: "The working day and seasonally adjusted current account of the euro area recorded a deficit of EUR 6.5 billion in March 2009 (corresponding to a deficit of EUR 3.5 billion in non-adjusted terms). This reflected deficits in current transfers (EUR 7.6 billion) and goods (EUR 1.6 billion), which were only partly offset by surpluses in services (EUR 2.0 billion) and income (EUR 0.8 billion)."
