Tokyo, May 22 (EFE/EPA).- According to the preliminary trade statistics for April released on Wednesday by the Ministry of Finance, the trade balance showed a deficit of 462.5 billion yen (3 billion US dollars).

The deficit was mainly due to the value of imports, which reached a record high in April with rising crude oil prices and a weaker yen. (Camera: FRANCK ROBICHON).
