Japan logs record ¥29.26 tril current account surplus in 2024

So basically, it’s all because of the weak JPY. Wondering what these so called increases and decrease would be if logged in USD.

Intersted to know which currencies contributed most to the positive account balance. Goods were down, services up, pesky toursists. But, imports of personal computers up??? what went wrong with the fax machines & soni laptops? and car industry. OOPs pull yr boots=tires up, Toy Mits Niss, love to be proven wrong lower yen should boost sales???

Tax revenues, major firm's profit or internal reserves and share price also record highest-ever, But those only enrich handful.

Number of private food-aid facilities for poverty people are also highest-ever.

Profits are hard to find in Japan, invest overseas.

Great news for Japan.

Let's see how this news hurts the feelings of the anti-Japan whiners..

LOL
