Japan’s export growth slowed to a moderate 3.9 percent in March, falling significantly from the previous month’s impressive 11.4 percent increase. This decrease is attributed to the ongoing effects of steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by the U S, which have introduced new challenges for Japanese exporters.

Despite the growing restrictions, Japanese manufacturers continue to demonstrate resilience. The current data emphasizes the need for strategies to mitigate the impact of external tariffs on export performance. Moving forward, businesses must navigate these challenges while seeking new avenues for growth amidst changing global trade conditions.
