Japan's money is less. This is from January to March. The USA and Japan have problems. This made people sad.

Japan made less things in the first three months of the year.

The sale of things to other countries went down a little. People bought the same amount of things. Companies spent a bit more money.

Trump's taxes may be bad for big companies in Japan, like car companies. They sell cars from Japan, Mexico, and Canada. It is hard to plan because Trump changes his mind.

S&P said: Car companies in some areas may have to pay more and sell less. This is because they make cars in many places.

Companies can have problems. They can sell less in the U.S. The world can change how we buy things.

Japan has money problems. Old people are many, and young people are few. They do not have many babies.

The Bank of Japan is a bank. The bank is slowly raising rates. Prices are going up a little.

The news says the economy is not strong. So, the bank may not raise rates.

Some people say: make the tax of 10% less. This can help people.

But Shigeru Ishiba has not said yes. Japan has money problems.

The money in the country went up a little in 2024.
