Current State of the Japanese Economy: A Squeeze

The Japanese economy is caught between a difficult trade outlook and fragile domestic demand.

Commodity prices are soaring due to heightened tensions in the Middle East.

This unsettling situation is reminiscent of the inflation and supply shocks following the pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

External Risks: Still Uncertain

US tariff policies remain uncertain.

The risk of import tariff hikes has not been completely eliminated.

Trade friction and intensifying competition with China remain concerns.

Domestic Challenges: Headwinds for the Recovery Scenario

The biggest obstacle: sluggish real wage growth.

With inflation slowing and nominal wages rising steadily, a recovery in real income was expected by 2026.

However, the possibility of re-accelerating inflation has set back the recovery scenario.
