Japan’s trade balance has fluctuated in recent years partly because of disruptions to production and other problems related to the coronavirus pandemic.

The biggest trade deficits were reported with Australia, China, and Middle East countries while the biggest trade surpluses were recorded with the United States, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Singapore.

For the PMI calculation the Suppliers’ Delivery Times Index is inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction to the other indices.

The S&P Global Japan Manufacturing PMI is a monthly indicator of manufacturing sector performance, based on survey responses from a panel of approximately 400 manufacturers.

The headline figure, known as the Purchasing Managers’ Index™ (PMI), is a weighted composite of five key components: New Orders (30%), Output (25%), Employment (20%), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15%), and Stocks of Purchases (10%). To ensure consistency in directional movement, the Suppliers’ Delivery Times Index is inverted when incorporated into the overall PMI.

The S&P Global Japan Composite PMI Output Index is a key indicator of overall private sector business activity in Japan. It is calculated as a weighted average of the Manufacturing Output Index and the Services Business Activity Index, with weights reflecting the relative size of each sector based on official GDP data. The index draws on survey responses from a representative panel of approximately 800 companies across the manufacturing and services sectors. Although often referred to as the ‘Composite PMI’, this index should not be confused with the headline Manufacturing PMI, as it uniquely captures output trends across both sectors. The Composite Output Index tracks key variables including sales, new orders, employment, inventories, and prices. It is presented as a diffusion index ranging from 0 to 100, where a reading above 50 signals overall growth compared to the previous month, and a reading below 50 indicates contraction.

Respondents report changes relative to the previous month, and results are presented as diffusion indices, ranging from 0 to 100. An index above 50 signals growth, while below 50 indicates contraction. The main metric is the Services Business Activity Index, reflecting changes in business activity volume and serving as the headline figure. While sometimes called the "Services PMI," it is not directly comparable to the headline Manufacturing PMI, but aligns more closely with the Manufacturing Output Index.
