Outlook

of

Japanese

economy[Current

Status]•

The

economy

is

recovering.

Exports

of

goods

have

increased

on

the

back

of

the

resilience

of

overseas

economies,

particularly

the

United

States.

Corporate

capital

spendingattitudes

persist,

due

to

strong

pent-up

demand,

de-carbonization

and

digitalization

investment

needs.

Consumer

spending

has

been

lackluster

due

to

headwinds

in

the

face

ofhigh

prices,

but

household

sentiment

has

not.•

Inflation

isslowing.

The

national

core

CPI

rose

by

3.1%

in

July

from

the

previous

year,

down

from

3.3%

a

month

earlier.

After

rising

to

3.4%

in

April,

the

pace

of

price

increaseshas

slowed,

albeit

with

fluctuations.

The

decline

in

import

prices,

which

is

the

starting

point

of

cost

push

inflation,

has

become

more

pronounced,

and

it

seems

to

have

spread

todomestic

goods

prices.[Outlook]①

We

have

raised

ourreal

GDPgrowth

forecastforFY

2023from+1.2%

to

+2.5%andmaintained

thatforFY

2024at

+1.1%.

The

primary

reason

for

the

upward

revision

inFY

2023

was

the

unexpectedly

strong

growth

in

Q2

FY

2023.

In

addition,

we

have

raised

our

forecast

for

exports

due

to

a

strong

US

economy

and

resuming

inbound

travel

fromChina.

With

regard

to

the

outlook

for

the

economy,

we

expect

domestic

demand

to

increase,

particularly

personal

consumption

and

capital

investment

thanks

to

the

re-openingof

the

economy

after

the

COVID-19

pandemic.

Consumer

spending,

which

has

been

lackluster,

is

expected

to

recover

thanks

to

receding

negative

impact

from

price

hikes.Exports

are

also

expected

to

remain

stable.②

We

have

maintained

ourcoreCPI

forecastforFY

2023

at

+2.8%and

raised

thatforFY

2024

from+1.7%to+1.8%.

The

main

reasons

for

the

upward

revision

to

FY

2024CPI

forecast

was

an

increase

in

the

outlook

for

economic

growth

and

a

change

in

the

exchange

rate

assumption

(from

135

yen

to

137.5

yen

to

the

dollar).

In

the

future,

it

islikely

that

the

cost

push

pressure

will

decrease

and

the

core

CPI

will

follow

a

deceleration

trend.

However,

due

in

part

to

support

from

wage

increases,

the

timing

for

core

CPI

tofall

below

2%

from

the

previous

year

is

expected

to

be

deferred

to

the

second

half

of

FY

2024.③

We

expectPM

Kishida’scabinetwill

continueitsaccommodative

economicpolicy.

The

ruling

LDP

is

expected

to

raise

the

issue

of

extending

measures

to

counter

higherinflation.

As

for

the

sources

of

the

funds,

the

government

will

avoid

preparing

a

supplementary

budget

and

consider

using

reserve

funds.

If

the

Kishida

administration

faces

asnap

election

or

if

the

economy

slows

down

from

its

current

steady

pace,

there

is

the

risk

that

economic

measures

with

a

supplementary

budget

will

be

taken.④

The

Bank

of

Japan's

monetary

policy

is

expected

to

remain

unchanged

for

the

foreseeable

future.

In

July,

the

Bank

of

Japan

flexed

its

yield-curve-control

operations,effectively

raising

the

cap

of

10-year

treasury

yield

to

1%.

As

a

result,

the

YCC

has

become

a

dead

letter

and

the

need

to

revise

the

YCC

has

been

reduced.

On

the

other

hand,the

possibility

of

achieving

the

price

stability

target

is

low,

and

short-term

policy

rate

and

the

QQE

framework

with

YCC

is

expected

to

remain

in

place.

However,

the

risk

ofchanges

in

current

monetary

policies

(such

as

eliminating

negative

interest

rates)

will

increase

if

the

BOJ

is

concerned

about

the

side

effects

of

ongoing

accommodativemonetary

policy

through

the

deepening

discussion

of

its

multi-faceted

review.19Forecast
