Analysis by Region - Asia Pacific - Japan
Description
We've raised our 2026 GDP growth forecast for Japan by 0.1ppt to 0.7% after assessing the initial estimate of Q3 GDP and the implications of the new government's fiscal policy. Consumption should improve gradually next year, driven by gains in real incomes. The effects of high US tariffs and the lagged impact of trade policy uncertainty on exports and machinery investment will likely ease toward H2.
