Japan reports September trade deficit
Japan recorded a trade deficit of 536.5 billion yen in September, due to an 18.9% rise in imports reaching 11.5088 trillion yen, while exports amounted to 10.9723 trillion yen, up 16.7%. Despite export growth for the thirteenth consecutive month, the increase in imports outpaced it, leading to the deficit.
