日本政府週五的報告顯示,因為美國總統川普的貿易戰,日本經濟今年第一季下降了0.7%。

日本的GDP(衡量國家經濟狀況的指標)從一月到三月減少了0.2%,比預期的更糟。這是過去一年來的第一次下降。

出口減少了2.3%。民眾花費的錢差不多,但公司投資增加了5.8%。

川普的關稅可能會影響日本的汽車公司,不只影響從日本出口的產品,也影響從墨西哥和加拿大出口的產品。政府官員說,因為川普常常改變想法,所以很難做出反應。

標普全球評級的報告說:「在美國賣汽車的公司,因為生產基地和供應鏈很多元,所以成本可能會增加,收入可能會減少。」

報告也說:「就算在美國賣很少汽車的公司,也可能因為關稅影響全球經濟和消費,而受到影響。」

這幾年,因為人口老化和人口減少,加上越來越多人不結婚或生小孩,日本經濟一直不好。

日本銀行這幾年都把利率維持在很低的水準,但最近開始慢慢提高,因為工資和物價都在上漲。

最新的數據顯示日本經濟不太穩定,所以日本銀行可能會慢一點再提高利率。

有些專家建議降低消費稅(跟其他國家的銷售稅很像)約10%,來幫助民眾減輕經濟壓力。

但是,首相石破茂還不支持這個方法。因為社會福利的支出增加很多,日本政府的財政壓力很大。

在2024年最後一季,日本經濟成長了2.4%。
