[TOKYO] Japan's current account logged a surplus for the eighth straight month in February, Ministry of Finance data showed on Wednesday, as a weak yen boosted income from overseas investments and falling oil prices narrowed the trade deficit.

The surplus stood at 1.44 trillion yen (S$16.3 billion), against a median forecast for a 1.15 trillion yen surplus.
