In this month's monthly economic report, the government said that the economic judgment was "continuing to pick up, but weakening in some areas" as the impact of the state of emergency on personal consumption is increasing. It has been revised downward for the first time in 3 months.
The government compiled this month's monthly economic report at a meeting of relevant ministers held on the 26th.
According to this, "personal consumption" has changed from "weak" to "weak movement centered on service spending", saying that the decline in the restaurant and accommodation industries has become even greater due to the impact of the state of emergency. The expression "is" has been revised downward.
Most of the other items are left unchanged, and "exports" are "continuing a gradual increase" as semiconductor manufacturing equipment for Asia is increasing, and "production" of companies is electronic parts etc. Said that it was "recovering" because it was doing well.
Based on these, the judgment of the economy as a whole was that "although the movement of recovery continues, some weaknesses are increasing."
Until last month, we changed the phrase "weakness is seen" to "weakness is increasing" and revised the economic judgment downward for the first time in three months.
Regarding the outlook for the economy, "it is necessary to pay close attention to the increased downside risk due to the spread of domestic and foreign infections."
