Japan unexpectedly entered a recession, losing its position as the world’s third-largest economy to Germany. Weak consumption, sluggish capital spending, and production halts in key industries like Toyota Motor Corp indicate challenges for economic recovery. GDP contracted by 0.4% in the October-December 2023 period, confounding market expectations for growth. The consecutive quarters of decline raise doubts about the Bank of Japan’s plans to exit its long-standing ultra-loose monetary policy. Japan’s nominal GDP fell below Germany’s, marking it as the world’s fourth-largest economy. Despite expectations for increased capital expenditure by large companies, rising costs and labor shortages delay actual investment. The Bank of Japan is likely to proceed cautiously amid global economic uncertainties and potential risks.
