2024年10月,日本同步经济指标指数(包括工厂产出、就业和零售额等数据)为116.8,高于116.5的初步估计和9月份的114.0。这是自5月以来的最高水平,突显出经济温和复苏,就业和收入水平有所提高。本月私人消费和商业投资均有所回升,同时消费者价格小幅上涨。然而,外部因素也存在下行风险,包括中东局势和中国脆弱的复苏。在货币政策方面,央行认为,在7月和3月实施加息后,它有足够的时间彻底评估国内外金融和资本市场状况。
The index of coincident economic indicators in Japan, which includes data such as factory output, employment, and retail sales, was at 116.8 in October 2024, above the flash estimate of 116.5 and September's reading of 114.0. This was the highest level since May, highlighting a moderate economic recovery with better employment and income levels. Both private consumption and business investment picked up in the month, alongside modest increases in consumer prices. However, there were downside risks from external factors, including the situation in the Middle East and China's fragile recovery. On the monetary policy front, the central bank believes it has sufficient time to thoroughly assess financial and capital market conditions both domestically and internationally after implementing rate hikes in July and March.
