Japan’s Exports: January 2004-March 2007
May 14, 2007
By Ken Worsley
Last week the Ministry of Finance published provisional trade statistics for the first 20 days of April, which revealed that yet another year-on-year monthly gain in exports is to be expected. 4,372,875,000 yen worth of exports were shipped in the first 20 days of April 2007, versus 3,901,768,000 yen in the first 20 days of April 2006.
We went back and made a chart of Japan’s exports from January 2004 onward. By clicking on the image, you can see the full-size chart, which reveals that since January 2004 there has been no decline in exports by a monthly year-on-year comparison. More on this to follow…
