Asia's second largest economy recorded a 953.4 billion yen merchandise trade deficit in November, when it declined by 37.9% from a year ago amid weaker exports to China, the Ministry of Finance reported on Wednesday. Year-on-year, Japan's exports decreased 4.1% to 4.983 trillion Yen beating a forecast of 5.5% contraction following a previous month's 6.5% shortfall.
