Paris--Dec. 12--France's October current account surplus narrowed
sharply to 0.732 billion euros from 2.096 billion euros in September,
according to seasonally-adjusted data issued by the Finance Ministry (see
table .6666). The smaller than expected October surplus was due to strong
import growth amid firm domestic demand causing a deficit in the goods
payment account.
