據亞洲潤滑油周刊8月6日消息，日本政府機構本周公布的數據顯示，6月份日本的潤滑油消費量和產量均比去年同期高出20%以上，今年上半年的消費量和產量也高于去年同期的水平。

　　日本經濟產業省的數據顯示，今年6月日本國內潤滑油消費量同比增長22%，至14.19萬千升(12.8萬噸)，而去年同期為11.6177萬升。這也遠遠高于2019年6月10.7771萬千升的消費量。今年上半年，日本潤滑油消費量從2020年上半年的69.413萬千升上升到78.4982萬千升，增長了13%。

　　據日本經濟產業省最近公布的數據，6月份日本潤滑油產量(包括用于出口的)同比增長23%，從去年同期的14.4549萬千升增長至17.831萬千升。這也遠遠高于2019年6月的12.429萬千升的產量。今年上半年日本潤滑油產量從去年同期的103萬千升增加到了106萬千升。

　　6月份日本的潤滑油進出口也顯示出同比復蘇的跡象。6月份日本潤滑油出口量為6.6467萬千升，同比增長23%，同時進口量同比增長了214%至2.3318萬千升。在今年的前六個月,日本潤滑油進口總量達到11.7887萬千升，比去年同期的9.6905萬千升增長了22%。今年上半年，日本潤滑油出口總量同比增加17%，從去年同期的35.5423萬千升增至41.6707萬千升。

　　日本央行在今年7月發表的《經濟活動和物價展望》報告書中表示:“雖然受到國內外新冠肺炎疫情的影響，日本經濟仍處于嚴峻的狀況，但經濟狀況明顯好轉。”

　　日本央行在報告中表示：“海外經濟總體上已經復蘇，盡管不同國家和地區的情況有所不同。 在這種情況下，出口和工業生產繼續穩步增長。此外，企業利潤和企業信心總體上有所改善。商業固定投資已經回升，盡管在一些行業看到疲軟。由于新冠肺炎疫情的影響，就業和收入狀況依然疲弱。”

　　Japan Demand Jumped in First Half

　　Japan’s lubricant consumption and production were both more than 20% higher in June than in the same period last year, while the totals for each in the first half of this year were also well above results for the same time frame in 2020, according to data released this week by a government agency.

　　The country’s domestic lubricant consumption volume grew 22% to 141,900 kiloliters (128,000 metric tons) in June, compared to 116,177 kL in the same month last year, according to Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. That’s also well above the 107,771 kL consumption mark in June 2019. For the first half of this year, the consumption volume grew 13% to 784,982 kL, up from 694,130 kL in the first half of 2020.

　　In June, the nation’s lubricant production – including for export – rose 23% to 178,310 kL, up from 144,549 kL, according to data recently released by the ministry. That’s also well above 124,290 kL production figure in June 2019. In the first six months of this year, production totaled 1.06 million kL, rising from 1.03 million tons.

　　The country’s exports and imports of lubricants also showed signs of year-over-year recovery in June. The export total of 66,467 kL was up 23% year to year, and imports jumped 214% to 23,318 kL. During the first six months of this year, imports totaled 117,887 kL, a 22% increase from 96,905 kL. For the first half of this year, exports increased 17% to 416,707 kL, compared to 355,423 kL.

　　In its July “Outlook for Economic Activity and Prices” report, the Bank of Japan asserted that the country’s economy has improved significantly despite remaining in a severe situation due to the impact of COVID-19 at home and abroad.

　　“Overseas economies have recovered on the whole, albeit with variation across countries and regions,” the bank stated in the report. “In this situation, exports and industrial production have continued to increase steadily. In addition, corporate profits and business sentiment have improved on the whole. Business fixed investment has picked up, although weakness has been seen in some industries. The employment and income situation has remained weak due to the impact of COVID-19.”
