DBJ sees Japan Q2 real GDP growth slowing to 1.1% annualized in August economic review
  • Development Bank of Japan published its August 2026 “Recent Economic Trends” review, flagging a slower Japan growth pulse.
  • Real GDP in April–June rose at a 1.1% annualized rate, slowing as consumption and investment fell on temporary policy factors.
  • Japan’s recovery stayed gradual, with Middle East tensions seen as a key downside risk through elevated oil prices.
  • US growth remained resilient, Europe’s recovery stalled, China’s rebound cooled as domestic demand softened.
  • Global slowdown risk tilted to emerging markets, with uncertainty still high despite a US-Iran memorandum aimed at ending fighting.
