Canada's monthly international trade in services deficit narrowed from $1.2 billion in April to $1.1 billion in May. Overall, imports of services were down 0.5% to $15.7 billion, due to lower commercial services (-1.2%), namely financial services. Exports were essentially unchanged, at $14.6 billion. Higher exports of commercial services (+0.2%) were almost entirely offset by lower travel services (-0.2%) and transportation services (-0.4%).
