Economic relations of Japan

Japan's October trade surplus shrank 40.7 percent from a year earlier as growth in exports were eclipsed by higher costs of importing crude oil and petroleum products, the government said on Nov. 20

Turkey's foreign trade deficit increased by 82.5 percent in July compared with July 2016, according to official data.

Turkey's exports soared over 31 percent annually to reach nearly $11.5 billion in July; the highest growth rate in the last six years, a leading sector association announced on Aug. 1.

A failed coup last July hit the country's exports in a steep manner.

Turkey's foreign trade deficit widened in February as the country's import costs rose, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) said on March 31.        

China's February trade performance was far worse than economists had expected, with exports tumbling the most in over six years, days after top leaders sought to reassure investors that the outlook for the world's second-largest economy remains solid. 

Turkey’s foreign trade deficit has continued to decrease since the start of the New Year. According to recently released data based on the month of May, the monthly foreign trade deficit has now become $7.1 billion.
