16 January 2001, 10:31 Japan Nov current account surplus 972 bln yen; up 22.1%
Tokyo--Jan. 15--Japan's current account balance in November posted a
surplus of 972.2 billion yen, up 22.1% on year, the Ministry of Finance
(MOF) said. The rise followed a drop of 28.9% in October. An MOF official
said he is unsure about the long-term trend of the current account surplus
because the service balance and income balance have been fluctuating
recently, although the surplus in the trade balance has continued to drop.
