2025年5月,追踪工厂产出、就业和零售额等关键数据的日本重合经济指标指数为116.0,略高于115.9的初步估计,但与4月份的读数持平。最新结果反映了经济适度复苏,但受到美国贸易政策的不确定性和持续的成本压力的影响。与此同时,本月工业产出持平,但就业状况有改善的迹象。与此同时,政府继续通过有针对性的措施减轻大米价格飙升的负担。在政策方面,日本央行保持谨慎立场,密切关注外部风险和国内通胀趋势。央行表示有意逐步加息,但强调需要灵活应对不断变化的经济状况。
Japan’s index of coincident economic indicators—which tracks key data such as factory output, employment, and retail sales—stood at 116.0 in May 2025, slightly above the flash estimate of 115.9 but unchanged from April's reading. The latest result reflected a moderately recovering economy, tempered by uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy and persistent cost pressures. Simultaneously, industrial output was flat in the month, but there were signs of improvement in employment conditions. Meanwhile, the government continued efforts to ease the burden of soaring rice prices through targeted measures. On the policy front, the Bank of Japan maintained a cautious stance, keeping a close eye on external risks and inflationary trends at home. The central bank signaled its intention to gradually raise interest rates but emphasized the need for flexibility in response to evolving economic conditions.
