Japan has maintained its robust economic streak by recording a 3.352 trillion yen (approximately $23.4 billion USD) current account surplus in November 2024, as reported by the Ministry of Finance. This marks 22 consecutive months of surplus, exceeding market expectations despite a slight dip from the previous month. Key factors contributing to this surplus include a significant shrinkage in goods account deficit and a steady increase in primary income surplus. Although challenges such as yen depreciation and energy costs persist, forecasts suggest potential GDP growth recovery in the coming year. Renowned economists emphasize the need for strategic adaptations to navigate the complex global and domestic economic landscape. Japan’s enduring economic resilience continues to inspire optimism for measured progress and prosperity.
