▼ Japan Posts Record Current Account Surplus In 2025
- Category:Other
Japan reported a record current account surplus for the second straight year in 2025, partly thanks to a narrower trade deficit.
The Finance Ministry says the surplus reached almost 31.9 trillion yen, or about 203 billion dollars.
The current account is a key measure of the nation's earnings from trade and investment outside the country.
A drop in the cost of energy imports helped reduce the trade deficit.
At the same time, the primary income surplus expanded as Japanese companies' subsidiaries overseas reported higher stock dividends and interest payments from bonds.
The monthly current account balance posted a surplus of about 4.6 billion dollars in December.
It was the eleventh straight month of black ink, although the size of the surplus fell by 32 percent from a year earlier.
