The government has compiled its monthly economic report for this month and maintained its underlying assessment that the economy is "recovering moderately."
As the infection situation of the new corona has calmed down, while corporate capital investment is picking up, it is necessary to pay attention to fluctuations in the financial market, such as the depreciation of the yen.
On the 25th, the government held a meeting of related ministers and compiled this month's monthly economic report.
Among them, "capital investment" is "recovering" and the judgment was raised for the first time in eight months.
Due to the impact of the new corona, the postponed investment for digitalization and decarbonization is increasing.
On the other hand, the assessment of "imports" was lowered to say that it was "almost flat" due to a decline in imports of personal computers and furniture from China and other Asian countries. We maintain our judgment that the rate is improving and that it is "recovering moderately."
Based on these factors, we have maintained our basic assessment that the economy as a whole is "recovering moderately" since July.
On the other hand, as for the outlook, it is necessary to pay close attention to fluctuations in financial markets, such as the rapid depreciation of the yen, as well as rising prices.
