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).
America has a massive deficit in its current account - it is importing far more goods and services than it is exporting. The size of the gap in dollar terms, the amount of so-called red ink, is close to $600bn (Â£325.6bn) - almost 6% of America's overall economic activity.
