Japan reported a current account deficit of 257.6 billion yen ($1.75 billion) in January, marking its first deficit in two years. This was driven by a weak yen increasing import costs and a surge in imports of smartphones and electronic parts ahead of the Lunar New Year, while exports only saw a slight increase of 2.1%. Imports rose by 17.7% compared to the previous year.
