South Africa's current account deficit narrowed sharply in the first quarter, as a weaker rand and more favorable economic conditions abroad provided an unexpected boost to some of the country's mines and factories.
The deficit was 5.8% of gross domestic product in the first three months of 2013, South Africa's central bank said Wednesday, far lower than the 6.9% deficit that economists had forecast and the 6.5% gap recorded in the fourth quarter of last year.
