Japan Maintains Economic Recovery Outlook Amid Trade Policy Concerns

in Trade Policies

The Japanese government has maintained its assessment that the country’s economy is experiencing a moderate recovery, according to its latest monthly economic report. However, officials noted that consumer spending has yet to show significant growth, and recent U.S. tariff policies could impact exports.

In its February economic report, the Cabinet Office stated that the economy “is recovering at a moderate pace, although it remains pausing in part.” This marks the seventh consecutive month in which the overall assessment has remained unchanged.

The report upgraded its evaluation of exports, stating that they have been “showing movements of picking up recently.” Strong demand for production machinery in China and chip-manufacturing equipment in other Asian nations contributed to this trend.

At a ministerial meeting held on February 19, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and other government officials discussed economic developments and potential risks. While the report maintained its assessment of private consumption—acknowledging a gradual pickup but noting some stagnation—it emphasized the need for close monitoring of U.S. trade policies.

The report highlighted concerns regarding newly announced tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump, who began his second term on January 20. The U.S. administration has imposed increased tariffs on various imports, including a proposed 25% tariff on automobiles, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals. The higher tariff rate on imported vehicles is expected to be announced on April 2.

The Japanese auto sector, which accounted for approximately one-third of Japan’s total export value to the U.S. in 2024, may be significantly affected by these measures, according to government officials.

In addition to the automobile sector, the U.S. has also implemented a 10% additional duty on goods from China and has proposed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico. Furthermore, new 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports are set to take effect.

While concerns over global trade tensions persist, the Cabinet Office maintained its assessment of the international economy for the eighth consecutive month, stating that global economic conditions continue to show signs of improvement despite some areas experiencing a slowdown.
