Japan has posted its biggest-ever current account deficit for a single month. This was due to a combination of surging fuel prices and weak exports to China during the Lunar New Year holiday.
                
The Finance Ministry said on Wednesday the current account deficit in January was almost 2 trillion yen, or about 14 billion dollars. The figure is the largest since comparable data became available in 1985. It&#039;s the first deficit in three months and 3.4 times the amount from January last year in yen terms.
                
The current account is a measure of Japan&#039;s trade and investment with the rest of the world.
                
Officials say a surge in energy costs contributed to a trade deficit of about 23 billion dollars. The rise is due to higher prices of coal, liquefied natural gas and crude oil, as well as a weak yen.
                
Meanwhile, the primary income surplus grew from a year ago to about 16 billion dollars. This was a record high for January. The account records dividends and income from interest on overseas securities investments.
