At Monday's exchange rate of about 128 yen to the dollar, the current
account surplus stood at $13.0 billion, while the surplus in merchandise
trade alone was $11.4 billion.

The data was well above an average of forecasts by economists polled by
Reuters of a rise of 67.0 percent to 1.41 trillion yen.

Economists had said they expected the increase because of sluggish
imports, caused mainly by feeble domestic demand and a weaker yen, in
addition to a slowdown of a rise in exports.

Sagging consumer sentiment in Japan and a weaker yen should mean a
decline in the services deficit, which in turn would lead to a rise in
the current account surplus, economists say.
