FEATURED
- The Japanese government offered the assessment in its Monthly Economic Report for Mar 2023 that "The Japanese economy is picking up moderately, although some weaknesses are seen. Concerning short-term prospects, the economy is expected to show movements of picking up, supported by the effects of the policies, under the "new normal". However, slowing down of overseas economies is downside risk of the Japanese economy, amid ongoing global monetary tightening and other factors. Also, full attention should be given to price increases, supply-side constraints and fluctuations in the financial and capital markets."
