The report, based on statistics from the Japanese Ministry of Finance, focuses primarily on the balance of trade between Japan, the EU and its constituent Member States in 2023. 

The report begins by analysing Japanese trade with the EU as a whole and then provides a country-by-country analysis for each individual EU Member States. It also provides a breakdown of goods traded between Japan and EU by category (i.e. chemicals, manufactured goods, food and livestock, etc.). Finally, it includes some information about commemorative events and bilateral agreements that have been signed in 2023 between the EU or each Member State and Japan.
