Japan Shows Double-Digit Growth in Exports for March

Japan's exports grew by 16.1% in March, signaling growing trade recovery throughout Asia and Japan's strengthened trading relationships with countries outside of China. Japan exported nearly 1 trillion yen more than the same month last year, the Ministry of Finance said in an April 19 release. While China was the largest export market for Japanese goods, the Pacific nation also saw a substantial jump in exports heading to the U.S. and the eurozone.
