Japan’s current account surplus in the April-September period rose 14.1% from a year earlier, hitting a half-year record of ¥17.51 trillion, the Finance Ministry said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In the first half of fiscal 2025, the current account balance, the broadest measure of a country’s international trade and investment flows, expanded mainly because the trade balance swung to a surplus following lower imports.<\/p>\n

The goods trade balance improved to a surplus of ¥49.4 billion from the year-before deficit of ¥2.36 trillion, marking the first surplus since the first half of fiscal 2021.<\/p>\n

Contributing factors include a decrease in imports of energy, such as crude oil and coal, and increased exports of semiconductor manufacturing equipment to other Asian markets.<\/p>\n

Japan’s surplus on the primary income account, which mainly covers companies’ dividend and interest receipts from abroad, rose 2.1% from a year earlier to ¥22.28 trillion, the largest half-year surplus on record.<\/p>\n

In services trade, which includes transportation and travel, Japan saw its deficit decline 11.3% to ¥1.86 trillion. The travel services trade surplus rose to ¥3.31 trillion thanks to an increase in visitors to Japan, nearly offsetting a deficit of ¥3.35 trillion on in digital services trade, which includes online advertising.<\/p>\n

In September alone, Japan scored a current account surplus of ¥4.48 trillion, a record high for the month. The primary income account surplus soared 82.3% from a year earlier to ¥4.95 trillion, boosted by dividend income from overseas subsidiaries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
