Thanks for the reply - the discard instructions will help with transforming a number dialled with a 9 prefix to remove the leading National Prefix, however it doesnt help the matching of a route pattern using + dialling with no leading 0 original dialled.
Current-Account Balance, Fourth Quarter The U.S. current-account deficit decreased to $112.4 billion (preliminary) in the fourth quarter of 2016 from $116.0 billion (revised) in the third quarter of 2016, according to statistics released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
The term balance of payments is sometimes misused by non-economists to mean just relatively narrow parts of the BOP such as the trade deficit, which means excluding parts of the current account and the entire capital account. Another cause of confusion is the different naming conventions in use.
