Parts and Materials Industry Trade Figures for the First Quarter
Despite unfavorable economic conditions, including a weaker Japanese yen, exports in the parts and materials industry grew by a brisk 5.2 percent year on year. The recovery was led by solid performances in electronic components, electrical machine parts and transportation machine parts. Exports of nonmetallic minerals were boosted by strong demand from LCD panel manufacturers. Due to weaker demand in the global market, outbound shipments fell in basic metals, rubber and plastic materials and textiles. With most trading partners, the nation’s trade balance maintained a surplus. date2013-04-16
