Japan exports fall 12.9 pct year/year in January - MOF
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/02/17/reuters-a...--mof.html

TOKYO, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Japan's exports fell 12.9 percent in January from a year earlier to mark a fourth straight month of declines, Ministry of Finance data showed on Thursday, in a sign of weakness in external demand amid a China-led global slowdown.

The fall compared with the median estimate of an 11.3 percent decrease in a Reuters poll of economists. It followed an 8.0 percent drop in December. Imports fell 18.0 percent in the year to January, versus the median estimate of a 16.0 percent decrease.

The trade balance swung to a deficit of 645.9 billion yen ($5.7 billion), against the median estimate of a 680.2 yen billion yen shortfall. To view full tables, go to the MOF website at: http://www.customs.go.jp/toukei/info/indexte.htm ($1 = 114.2700 yen)
