Japan Current Account Surplus Widens Sharply in August
Japan’s current account surplus rose to ¥4.062 trillion in August, well above the ¥3.194 trillion market consensus and up from ¥2.989 trillion previously.
The stronger-than-expected surplus points to an improvement in Japan’s external balance during the month, reflecting a larger net inflow from trade, services and overseas investment income.
