The Japanese Finance Ministry said Monday that the world's third largest economy logged a goods trade surplus of 823.47 billion yen (around 7.48 billion U.S. dollars) on a customs-cleared basis for the third straight month of black trade balance.
The ministry said in a preliminary report that the sharp decline in imports values brought by the weakening crude oil prices contributed to the largest trade surplus since March 2010.
The imports in the reporting month decreased 23.3 percent to 5.07 trillion yen for the 16th straight monthly fall, while the value of exports was down 10.1 percent from a year earlier to 5.89 trillion yen for the seventh straight month of decline, according to the report.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
