Chinese often places time expressions before the verb. In formal news style, a date like “18日” is used instead of “18号” to mean “on the 18th day of the month.”
"日本财务省当地时间18日公布的数据显示"
A verb phrase can come before 的 to modify a noun. This structure is very common in Chinese for describing nouns with actions or events connected to them.
"公布的数据显示"
In formal written Chinese, “……的数据显示” is used to introduce information based on statistics or reports. The phrase before 的 describes the source or origin of the data.
"日本财务省当地时间18日公布的数据显示"
“为” is a formal written equivalent of “是,” often used in reports, statistics, and official language to indicate a value, status, or result.
