What this is
Japan's playing-card exports to seven Asian destinations, March–August 2026 against the same months of 2025: up from ¥30.058bn to ¥69.58bn, 2.31 times (+¥39.52bn); in dollars, $205.51m to $435.6m, 2.12 times.
How it’s built
- Added the seven destinations' monthly values (Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia) from Japan's official trade statistics and UN Comtrade.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
The yen rise is bigger than the dollar rise because the yen weakened (about ¥146.3 to ¥159.7 per dollar, implied). The heading covers all playing cards.
