    NOTE. Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast a monthly 
current account deficit of 20.0 billion crowns ($974.6 million) 
for June  . 
 
- The monthly deficit is mainly due to a 27.6 billion crown 
income balance shortfall caused by payments of dividends and 
estimated reinvested earnings on direct investments. The monthly 
gap shrinks from 14.8 billion in May. 
- Foreign direct investment inflows total 11 billion crowns, 
which the central bank estimated included about 9.6 bilion 
crowns in reinvested profits. 
- Portfolio investments show a net 9.4 billion crown outflow. 
The 12-month cummulative outflows have been gradually declining.
