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.

According to the latest data, the month-over-month (MoM) growth rate of Japan's export value in Q2 2026 continued to decline, widening its drop from the previous value of -4.32% to -9.47%. Despite the significant pullback in monthly momentum, benefiting from global AI infrastructure demand, the year-over-year (YoY) growth of semiconductor-related exports remains robust. Looking ahead, close attention must be paid to the impact of the Middle East geopolitical situation on energy import costs, as well as the double-edged sword effect brought by the weak yen.
