FEATURED
- The Japanese government offered the assessment in its Monthly Economic Report for Nobember 2024 that "The Japanese economy is recovering at a moderate pace, although it remains pausing in part. Concerning short-term prospects, the economy is expected to continue recovering at a moderate pace with the improving employment and income situation, supported by the effects of the policies. However, slowing down of overseas economies is downside risk of the Japanese economy, including the effects of continued high interest rate levels in the U.S. and Europe, and the lingering stagnation of the real estate market in China. Also, full attention should be given to the effects of price increases, future policy trends in the U.S., the situation in the Middle East and fluctuations in the financial and capital markets."
