Japan's Trade Balance Falls into Red in August
Japan City.
Tokyo - QNA
Japan's trade balance fell into the red in August for the first time in three months, as a stronger yen pushed down the value of exports.
Officials at Japan's Finance Ministry said that the deficit came in at about 184 million dollars. The value of exports was down 9.6% in yen terms from a year earlier, posting an 11th straight month of decline, according to Japan's (NHK Radio) news. The value of imports shrank 17.3%.
Lower prices for crude oil and natural gas helped shrink the total value of imports. The officials said seasonal factors were also behind the sluggish numbers, as many exporters took holidays during the month.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
