Japan's economy forecasts the worst post-war negative growth in the second quarter국제/일본 2021. 3. 21. 16:58
In addition to the first and second quarters, an analysis also revealed that GDP will decrease by 5.2% this year. Yuji Shimanaka of Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities said, "There is a possibility that the period of an emergency could be extended by about one month, so consumption expenditure could decrease by about 19 trillion yen (224 trillion won)." Yasuo Yamamoto of the Mizuho Research Institute also predicted that "the company's performance will deteriorate, and the GDP will record a significant negative as facility investment decreases due to a lack of cash."
It is expected that the economy will recover from the end of this year, but even after the declaration of an emergency, there are many prospects that the speed of recovery will not be rapid as there is a possibility that the people will refrain from consumption due to fear of infection.The average operating profit of listed companies in the second quarter is expected to decline by 64.9%. It is highly likely that performance will improve after the summer, but economists agreed that it will be difficult to avoid a situation that worsens significantly compared to the previous year. Some economists have come up with pessimistic scenarios that will decrease by 100-150%.
Shinichiro Kobayashi of Mitsubishi UFJ Research & Consulting said, "Depending on the type of business, sales from April to June may fall to less than half of the previous year." I have to do it,” he said. Researcher Taro Saito of Nissei Basic Research Institute predicted that "the reduction in annual profits for all industries will be at the level of Lehman Shock."There were many responses that the Japanese government's economic countermeasures for the novel corona were insufficient and too late. Of the total respondents, 70% gave a score of less than 70, which is the failing score. Yamakawa Tetsufumi of Baiclays Securities gave 30 points, "
Compared to major Western countries, the timing of policy response was delayed."
There were also opinions that additional measures are needed. Tomohide Kiuchi of the Nomura Research Institute said, "Since the negative growth is highly likely to continue for one year, there is a need for additional cash payments."'국제 > 일본' 카테고리의 다른 글
