The government released this month's monthly economic report and made an overall economic judgment based on the fact that personal consumption is picking up. I raised it for the first time in 1 year and 5 months.
The government held a ministerial meeting on the 21st to compile this month's monthly economic report.
According to this, regarding the judgment of the economy as a whole, which had been said that "the movement of recovery is weak", this month it is judged that "the movement of recovery is seen recently while the severe situation due to the new corona is gradually eased". Was pulled up.
It is the first time in one year and five months to raise economic judgment.
The main reason is that "personal consumption", which had been declining due to the influence of the new corona, is "recovering" due to the cancellation of the state of emergency, etc. Specifically, eating out, travel and new car sales are improving. It is said that.
On the other hand, “capital investment” was reduced to “stepping on recovery” due to a large decrease in software-related investment, and “housing construction” is weakening due to the shortage of land. For some reason, we lowered it to "generally flat".
Regarding the future of the economy, it is necessary to pay attention to the impact of infectious diseases such as the new mutant virus "Omicron strain" on the domestic and overseas economies.
