Abstract:

Abstract This diploma thesis provides a comprehensive evaluation of Japan's foreign trade, focusing on identifying the most traded commodities, key trading partners, and the country's trade balance. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the thesis examines the synchronization of imports and exports. Several hypotheses were formulated and tested. The analysis rejects the hypotheses that Japan has had a trade deficit for the last decades and that its key import partners are mainly developing countries. Conversely, the hypotheses that Japan’s exports have increased more than imports, its key export partners are developed countries, and its main exports are technology and industrial goods, while imports are primarily raw materials and agricultural products, were not rejected. The study recommends further analysis of other aspects of the Japanese economy to better understand the dynamics of its foreign trade.
