Country comparison
Balance on Services by Country
The balance on services covers cross-border services trade — tourism, transport, financial services, royalties, business services, and IT services. It is the services-only counterpart to the balance on goods.
Why compare Balance on Services across countries?
Services balances are structurally larger and more positive in advanced economies (notably the UK, US, France) than goods balances. They smooth the headline current account and can explain why countries with persistent goods deficits (UK, US) still attract structural capital inflows.
How to read the country list
Read year-over-year change. Tourism is highly seasonal and post-2020 has been the dominant volatility source for many European balances. Financial-services exports drive the UK surplus.
