Abstract

Japan's current account surplus decreased to 16.3 trillion yen in 2008, down from 24.8 trillion yen in 2007, mainly due to a decrease in the trade surplus. The decrease in the current account surplus is the first in three years. The capital and financial account deficit (net outflow) decreased to 19.6 trillion yen in 2008, down from 22.5 trillion yen in 2007. Reserve assets continued to increase, rising by 3.2 trillion yen in 2008 compared to an increase of 4.3 trillion yen in 2007. Balance of payments data for the whole of 2008 and the fourth quarter of 2008 in this report are preliminary unless otherwise stated.
