Korea's current account surplus narrowed in January from a month earlier due mainly to a jump in the deficit of the service account, central bank data showed Tuesday.
The country's current account surplus reached $2.68 billion in January, down from a surplus of $4.09 billion a month earlier, according to the preliminary data from the Bank of Korea.
It marked the 71st consecutive month of a current account surplus, which started in March 2012.
