TOKYO-SABA
Japan's exports hit a record in September, rising for the first time in three months as automakers doubled their shipments to the United States and Europe.
Exports recorded a growth of 4.3 percent exceeding market expectations which had predicted an increase of 3.1 percent and a decrease of 0.8 percent in August.
The total cost of the shipments reached 9.2 trillion yen (about $61 billion) with an increase of 2 percent from the earlier record verified in October last year.
Meanwhile imports decreased by 16.3 percent, slightly larger than expected.
