In its interim estimate released by the Cabinet Office, the government projects inflation-adjusted GDP growth of 0.9% for the fiscal year ending March 2027, down from the 1.3% growth forecast in January. However, thanks to strong capital spending and private consumption, growth is expected to accelerate to 1.1% in the next fiscal year. The weaker economic outlook for the current fiscal year highlights the pressure that rising energy costs are putting on Japans economy, which is heavily reliant on imported fuels. Under the forecast, Japan now expects private consumption to grow by 0.9% in fiscal year 2026, down from the 1.3% growth forecast in January; while capital spending is projected to grow by 2.3%, down from the previously forecast 2.8%.
