初步估计显示，2025年4月，日本同步经济指标指数（跟踪工厂产出、就业和零售额）从向下修正的115.8降至115.5。这标志着自去年11月以来的最低水平，因为持续的高成本继续对私人消费造成压力，美国高额关税的负担加剧。本月日本的贸易表现喜忧参半：进口下降，而出口增长速度为七个月来最慢，受到美国新关税的影响。在货币方面，日本央行在3月份的会议上一致将关键短期利率维持在0.5%左右，为2008年以来的最高水平。该委员会表示，如果其经济和价格前景实现，将继续提高政策利率并调整货币宽松政策。

Japan's index of coincident economic indicators—which tracks factory output, employment, and retail sales—fell to 115.5 in April 2025 from a downwardly revised 115.8, preliminary estimates showed. This marked the lowest level since last November, as persistently high costs continued to weigh on private consumption and the burden of steep US tariffs intensified. Japan’s trade performance was mixed during the month: imports declined, while exports grew at the slowest pace in seven months, dampened by the impact of new US tariffs. On the monetary side, the Bank of Japan unanimously held its key short-term interest rate at around 0.5% during its March meeting—the highest level since 2008. The board signaled continue raising its policy interest rate and adjusting monetary accommodation if its economic and price outlook materializes.
