FX.co ★ Japan Import Growth at 14-Month Peak

Japan’s imports climbed 10.9% year-on-year to JPY 10,336.3 billion in March 2026, exceeding market expectations of 7.1% and quickening from February’s 10.3% gain. This marked the second consecutive monthly increase and the fastest growth since January 2025, driven by strong domestic demand following Tokyo’s substantial stimulus measures introduced in late 2025.
