Mumbai, Feb. 10 -- Japan's current account surplus rose to JPY 1,077.3 billion in December 2024, marking the 23rd consecutive month of surplus. A sharp decline in the services account deficit and a narrower secondary income gap supported the gains, though the goods surplus plunged due to steeper export declines. For the full year, the surplus hit a record JPY 29.26 trillion, driven by strong foreign investment returns, a weaker yen, and a shrinking trade deficit.
