Japan Economy Likely Grew 3.2% in Q2
The preliminary data also suggested a 1 per cent rise in private consumption, which represents more than half of Japan's economy, marking its first increase in five quarters. "In the July-September period, personal consumption will likely continue to rise due to wage hikes and the effects of a tax cut," noted Saisuke Sakai, senior economist at Mizuho Research and Technologies.According to a Reuters poll released on Friday, the Japanese economy is anticipated to have expanded during the April-June quarter at a pace similar to initial predictions, although there are still risks affecting the outlook.
根據週五發佈的路透社民意調查，預計日本經濟在4月至6月季度以與初步預測相似的速度增長，儘管仍存在影響前景的風險。
Cabinet Office data, set for release on Monday, is expected to confirm a 3.2 per cent annualised growth rate for gross domestic product (GDP) in the second quarter, slightly above the previously reported 3.1 per cent. This adjustment would indicate a quarter-on-quarter expansion of 0.8 per cent, consistent with the initial reading.
預計週一發佈的內閣府數據將確認第二季度國內生產總值（GDP）年化增長率爲3.2％，略高於此前報告的3.1％。此調整將表明季度內擴張0.8％，與初步數據一致。
The revised figures are likely to reveal a 1 per cent increase in capital expenditure for the second quarter, up from the initial estimate of 0.9 per cent. This revision reflects robust corporate spending on plant and equipment, according to Shinichiro Kobayashi, principal economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Research & Consulting.
修訂後的數據可能顯示第二季度資本支出增長1％，高於初步估計的0.9％。這一修訂反映了三菱UFJ研究諮詢首席經濟學家小林真一所說的企業對設備和設施的強勁支出。
The preliminary data also suggested a 1 per cent rise in private consumption, which represents more than half of Japan's economy, marking its first increase in five quarters. "In the July-September period, personal consumption will likely continue to rise due to wage hikes and the effects of a tax cut," noted Saisuke Sakai, senior economist at Mizuho Research and Technologies.
初步數據還表明，私人消費增長了1％，私人消費佔日本經濟的一半以上，這是五個季度以來的首次增長。瑞穗研究技術高級經濟學家酒井賽介指出：「在7-9月期間，由於工資上漲和減稅的影響，個人消費可能會繼續上升。」
Looking ahead, analysts expect the momentum in economic growth to persist, supported by positive trends in wages and both personal and corporate spending. However, external risks, such as potential slowdowns in the U.S. and Chinese economies, could impact this outlook.
展望未來，分析師預計經濟增長勢頭將持續，得到工資、個人和企業支出的積極趨勢的支持。然而，美國和中國經濟潛在放緩等外部風險可能會影響這一前景。
On Sept. 12, separate data from the Bank of Japan is expected to show that the corporate goods price index for August, which tracks the prices companies charge each other, remained stable month-on-month.
