Japan's economy contracted by 0.5% in Q1 2024, worse than expected, due to weak consumer spending and auto woes. Exports fell by 5.0% and imports fell by 3.4%. The decline in consumer spending is a significant factor, with real wages shrinking and rising living costs. Policymakers aim to address declining consumer spending and normalize monetary policy. Despite expectations of a Q2 rebound, concerns remain about rising utilities costs and weak sentiment. Bank of Japan may raise interest rates later this year, but challenges persist for sustained growth. #JapanEconomy #ConsumerSpending #AutoIndustry #GDP...
