Japan's current account surplus jumped to a record last year, data from the finance ministry showed on Monday, as a weaker yen boosted returns on foreign investments that helped to comfortably offset a trade deficit.

The surplus in the current account stood at 29.3 trillion yen ($192.67 billion) in 2024, the largest since comparable data became available in 1985. It represented a 29.5% increase from the previous year.
