Japan current account surplus falls
Japan current account surplus narrowed in March by 8.6 % from a year earlier making up $ 19.95 billion, which is better than expected by economists. The reasons behind current account surplus contraction are the Europe's sovereign debt crisis, the strong Yen and increasing energy imports. Japanese exports grew to 7.3 %, whereas imports soared to 11.9 %.
