India’s current account deficit narrowed to $9.2 billion in the June quarter, compared to $17.9 billion in the same period last year, due to lower global crude and commodity prices. The deficit was 0.1% of GDP, down from 2.1% in the previous year, but higher than the $1.3 billion in the preceding quarter.
