The seasonally adjusted current balance series presented in US dollars is obtained by converting the seasonally adjusted quarterly figures expressed in national currency using the quarterly average exchange rate. The annual figures are obtained by converting annual raw figures in national currency using the annual average exchange rate. It should be noted that the sum of the quarterly figures does not necessarily equal the corresponding annual figure due to fluctuations in the exchange rate.
