Detailed data for April was not yet available but a countrybreakdown for January-March showed the euro zone’s trade surpluswith its biggest trading partner, Britain, fell to 12.2 billioneuros from 15.0 billion a year earlier.

The surplus more than halved with the United States, thesingle-currency area’s second-biggest trade partner, to 4.9billion. The trade deficit with energy exporter Russia more thanhalved to 5.4 billion euros from a year before as oil and gasprices plunged. The euro zone’s trade gap with China contracted to 26.4billion euros in the first quarter from 27.5 billion a yearbefore. Separately, Eurostat said construction output in the eurozone rose 0.6 percent month-on-month in April for the secondmonth running, limiting the year-on-year drop to 4.7 percentversus 8.3 percent in March and 12.5 percent in February. “Although construction data are notoriously volatile, thereare clear signs that the pace of contraction is slowing.
