Japan's current account surplus rose in August 2025, fueled by lower imports and a trade surplus, despite declining overseas investment income.
Japan's current account surplus reached 3.776 trillion yen in August 2025, the seventh straight month of surplus, up from July but down 4.8% year-on-year, exceeding forecasts.
A trade surplus of 105.9 billion yen emerged as imports fell 6.0% to 8.253 trillion yen, driven by lower energy prices, while exports dipped 0.4% to 8.359 trillion yen, partly due to reduced auto shipments to the U.S. Primary income from overseas investments declined 11.5% to 4.299 trillion yen, mainly from lower dividends in finance, insurance, and auto sectors.
The services deficit widened to 189.9 billion yen, largely due to a 22.1% drop in royalty income, while inbound tourism boosted the travel balance to a record high.
