Japan records current account surplus of 16.7 billion euros in July

RTP Notícias8 September 2026 at 06:50

Japan recorded a current account surplus of 2.99 trillion yen, equivalent to 16.7 billion euros, in the month of July. This information was announced by the Japanese Government.

The current account is an economic indicator that measures a country's transactions with the rest of the world, including trade in goods and services, income transfers and current transfers.

The positive value indicates that Japan had more money inflows than outflows during that period, which reflects a favorable position in its international economic relations.

This news was published recently, with the announcement being made by the Japanese Executive on the day of publication.

The true value of sustainable finance is not in the price

The article argues that the true value of sustainable finance goes far beyond price and interest rates. Although many companies seek sustainable financing hoping to obtain better financial conditions, the real benefits include expanding financing options, strengthening reputation, better relationships with banks and investors, and greater optionality. European banking regulation requires increasing integration of environmental risks in risk management, which means that companies prepared with robust sustainable finance structures will be easier to evaluate and will have access to a broader universe of financiers. The article concludes that the relevant question is no longer whether sustainable finance reduces costs, but whether it can improve access to capital, strengthen credibility, and prepare companies for the evolution of the financial market.

Chinese exports grow 25% in August

Chinese exports grew 25% in August year-on-year, reaching 401.44 billion dollars, driven by demand for technological products such as batteries and semiconductors, and by seasonal orders before Christmas, despite trade tensions and typhoons that caused delays at Shanghai ports. Imports increased 28.2%, raising the trade surplus to 119.09 billion dollars. The export sector benefited from the expansion of artificial intelligence and concerns about energy security, while sales to the US rose 34.4% and to ASEAN 30.21%. China's growing trade surplus, which reached a record 1.2 trillion dollars in 2025, has drawn criticism in the West, with the US Treasury Secretary classifying it as "unsustainable".
