２月経常黒字、過去最大　４兆円超、貿易収支が改善―財務省

　財務省が８日発表した２月の国際収支速報によると、海外とのモノやサービスの取引、投資収益の状況を示す経常収支は４兆６０７億円の黒字だった。黒字は２カ月ぶりで、単月としては比較可能な１９８５年以降で過去最大。貿易収支が黒字に転換したことなどが寄与した。
　輸出額から輸入額を差し引いた貿易収支は７１２９億円の黒字（前年同月は２９８３億円の赤字）。輸出額は前年同月比１０．４％増の９兆５５億円、輸入額は１．９％減の８兆２９２６億円だった。自動車や半導体等製造装置などの輸出額が伸びた一方で、原油や石炭などの輸入額が減少した。（2025/04/08-12:03）

Japan's current account surplus in February jumped 48.4 pct from a year earlier to 4,060.7 billion yen, a record high for a single month since comparable data became available in 1985, Finance Ministry data showed Tuesday.
   Japan posted a surplus in the current account balance, the broadest measure of a country's international trade and investment flows, for the first time in two months, mainly as the trade balance turned into a surplus.
   In goods trade, Japan's surplus totaled 712.9 billion yen, against the year-before deficit of 298.3 billion yen, the ministry said a preliminary report.
   Exports climbed 10.4 pct at 9,005.5 billion yen, led by growth in exports of automobiles and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
   By contrast, imports fell 1.9 pct to 8,292.6 billion yen due to the decline in crude oil and coal imports.
