About Balance des opérations courantes (EGP)

EGP's current account balance measures the broadest measure of trade flows, including goods, services, primary income (investment returns), and secondary income (transfers). It is the most comprehensive external balance indicator.

Why FX traders watch it

A persistent current account deficit means EGP must attract foreign capital to fund the shortfall, making the egp vulnerable to shifts in investor appetite. Current account surpluses imply structural egp demand.

How to interpret the data

Improvement (less deficit, more surplus) is egp-positive as it implies reduced dependence on foreign capital. A sudden widening of a deficit, especially if driven by external factors, is a warning sign for egp stability.

Request Parameters & Usage

Access and authentication

USD is free without a key. All other currencies require a Professional API key.

Public USD endpoint — anonymous callers receive the most recent 365 days. Add `?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY` to page through full stored USD history or to access any other currency. Date filters are applied before pagination. The default page size is 20 rows and the maximum is 100. Use either `page` or `offset`; when both are provided, `page` takes precedence. Forecasts are served separately by /v1/predictions/egp; join via `announcement_id`.

Data source and provenance

Macroeconomic announcement and catalogue rows are normalized from official central-bank, national statistics, treasury, or government publisher releases. Responses expose publisher metadata via source, source_url, and provenance fields where available.

Responses expose source, source_url, and provenance fields so consumers can cite the upstream publisher and FXMacroData serving path.

Path parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
`currency`	YES	string	3-letter currency code.
`indicator`	YES	string	Indicator slug. Use /v1/data_catalogue/{currency} to list available slugs per currency.

Query parameters

Parameter	Required	Format	Description
`start_date`	NO	string (YYYY-MM-DD)	Earliest observation date to include. Date filters are applied before pagination. Authenticated requests page through full stored history when omitted; anonymous USD requests are limited to the most recent 365 days.
`end_date`	NO	string (YYYY-MM-DD)	Latest observation date to include. Defaults to today.
`limit`	NO	integer	Maximum number of rows to return per page. Defaults to 20; maximum 100.
`page`	NO	integer	One-based page number. When supplied, page takes precedence over offset; page=2 with limit=20 is equivalent to offset=20.
`offset`	NO	integer	Zero-based row offset after date filtering. Use with pagination.next_offset to request the next page.
`api_key`	Pro (USD: free for last 365 days)	string	Professional API key. Required for non-USD currencies and for USD requests that need history older than 365 days.

Pagination behavior

Use start_date and end_date to narrow the series first, then page through the filtered result with limit plus either page or offset. The default page size is 20 rows and the maximum is 100. page is one-based; offset is zero-based, and page takes precedence when both are supplied. Authenticated announcement requests without start_date page through the full stored history; anonymous USD requests are limited to the freemium window. The response includes earliest_available_date and latest_available_date for the series coverage inside the requested date window, plus a pagination object with returned_count, total_count, has_more, and next_offset.
