AlHijjah 6, 1433, Oct 22, 2012, SPA -- Japan's exports dropped 10.3 per cent in September from a year earlier to 5.36 trillion yen (67.7 billion dollars) for their fourth-consecutive month of decline amid the yen's rise and an economic slowdown in the eurozone and China, the government said Monday. Exports to the European Union plunged 21.1 per cent to 565 billion yen for their 12th-consecutive fall as the region struggles with a sovereign debt crisis, the Finance Ministry said. Shipments to China, Japan's biggest trading partner, dropped 14.1 per cent to 953.8 billion yen in their fourth-straight monthly decrease.
