中新社东京5月22日电 (记者 朱晨曦) 日本财务省22日公布的数据显示，4月份日本遭遇了自去年9月以来的首次贸易逆差，逆差额达到4625亿日元，这一结果出乎市场预期。
分析人士指出，此次贸易逆差的主要原因是进口额的大幅增长。由于全球经济复苏和供应链改善，日本从国外的进口商品数量增加，尤其是原油等能源产品价格的上涨推高了进口成本。与此同时，日本出口的增长并未能完全抵消进口的增加，导致出现了较大的贸易逆差。
对此，日本政府表示，短期内贸易逆差可能会对日本经济产生一定影响，但长期来看，随着全球经济形势的稳定和日本国内需求的恢复，贸易状况有望得到改善。
日本财务省官员表示，政府将密切关注市场动态，并采取适当措施以缓解贸易逆差可能带来的负面影响，同时鼓励出口企业加大市场开拓力度，提高国际竞争力，以期在未来实现贸易平衡。
此次贸易逆差的数据公布后，市场对日本经济复苏的信心有所动摇，日元汇率也随之走低。不过，分析认为，这一短期波动并不代表日本经济的长期趋势，投资者应保持关注，以获取更多数据和信息，作出更准确的判断。

CGTN Tokyo, May 22 (Xinhua) — Data released by Japan’s Ministry of Finance on the 22nd showed that Japan experienced its first trade deficit since September last year in April, amounting to 46.25 billion yen, a result that caught market expectations off guard.
Analysts pointed out that the main cause of this trade deficit was a significant increase in imports. As global economic recovery and improvements in supply chains led to a rise in the volume of imported goods from abroad, especially an increase in the prices of energy products such as oil, which pushed up the cost of imports. At the same time, Japan’s export growth was not enough to offset the increase in imports, leading to a substantial trade deficit.
The Japanese government stated that the trade deficit in the short term might have some impact on the Japanese economy, but in the long run, with the stabilization of the global economic situation and the recovery of domestic demand, the trade situation is expected to improve.
A finance ministry official said the government will closely monitor market trends and take appropriate measures to alleviate the potential negative effects of the trade deficit, while encouraging export companies to increase market expansion efforts and enhance their international competitiveness, with the aim of achieving a balanced trade in the future.
The revelation of the trade deficit figures in April caused a shake in market confidence in Japan’s economic recovery, leading to a decline in the yen’s exchange rate. However, analysts believe that this short-term fluctuation does not represent the long-term trend of Japan’s economy, and investors should remain vigilant, gathering more data and information to make more accurate judgments.
