[Cars remains a crucial export for Japan]
Japan saw its trade surplus rise in June driven by strong sales of cars to Asia, the US and Europe, figures from the Ministry of Finance show.
Stronger-than-expected export growth helped the surplus to hit 1.23 trillion yen ($10.18bn; £4.9bn), marking a 53% rise year-on-year. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6914926.stm
