日本経済への影響小さい　五輪の無観客開催―ＩＭＦ

　【ワシントン時事】国際通貨基金（ＩＭＦ）のチーフエコノミスト、ギータ・ゴピナート氏は２７日、新型コロナウイルス対策で無観客開催となった東京五輪について、今年の日本経済に影響を及ぼす「大きな要因になるとは考えていない」と明言した。（2021/07/28-05:47）

Gita Gopinath, chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, said Tuesday that the Tokyo Olympics, currently held without spectators at most venues due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, will not have a significant impact on the Japanese economy this year.
   The Olympics "is not the biggest factor for growth projections," she told a press conference.
   While infrastructure spending related to the Tokyo Games had the "biggest kick on" Japan's gross domestic product, such spending "was done in the past," she explained.
   Meanwhile, Gopinath said that the IMF in compiling its most recent economic outlook on Japan did not take into account the Japanese government's fourth state of emergency over the spread of the coronavirus, which was issued this month for Tokyo.
   She warned that "there is a further downside risk" to Japan's economic growth coming from the latest state of emergency.
