The seasonally adjusted current account deficit fell $4,585 million (29 per cent) to $11,358 million in the September quarter 2016. Exports of goods and services rose $2,860 million (four per cent) and imports of goods and services rose $162 million. The primary income deficit fell $1,946 million (24 per cent). In volume terms, however, imports grew faster than exports this quarter and so international trade is expected to detract 0.2 percentage points from growth in the September quarter 2016 Gross Domestic Product. In seasonally adjusted chain volume terms, the net goods and services surplus declined by $871 million (61 per cent) to $561 million. Australia's net international investment position was a liability of $1,043.3 billion at 30 September 2016, increasing one per cent on the revised 30 June 2016 position of $1,037.9 billion. Australia's net foreign debt liabilities increased $0.8 billion to a net liability position of $1,048.5 billion. Australia's net foreign equity assets decreased $4.6 billion (47 per cent) to a net asset position of $5.2 billion.
