Description
The Japan Export Value Month-over-Month (MoM) Change is released by the Ministry of Finance (MOF). This indicator measures the percentage change in the value of Japanese merchandise exports compared to the previous month. It serves as a key barometer for assessing the strength of Japan's external sector and the overall health of its economy. A positive percentage indicates an increase in export value, which is generally favorable, while a negative percentage signifies a decrease, potentially signaling economic challenges.
The data is updated monthly and is typically released mid-month, reflecting export values from the previous month.
