今年度成長率３．４％に下げ　大規模緩和を維持―日銀決定会合

　日銀は２８日、前日に続き金融政策決定会合を開き、最新の景気予測である「経済・物価情勢の展望（展望リポート）」を公表した。新型コロナウイルス感染拡大による夏場の消費停滞や、部品不足に伴う自動車の減産などを踏まえ、２０２１年度の実質ＧＤＰ（国内総生産）成長率を前年度比３．４％（７月時点は３．８％）に下方修正した。
　金融政策については、現在の大規模な金融緩和を維持した。
　２１年度の物価上昇率見通しに関しても、０．０％（同０．６％）に下方修正した。指数の基準改定で、携帯電話通信料の引き下げが大きく反映されたことが影響した。成長率見通しは２１年度を引き下げる一方、２２年度は２．９％（同２．７％）に引き上げた。（2021/10/28-12:42）

The Bank of Japan on Thursday lowered its growth projection for the Japanese economy for fiscal 2021, which ends next March.
   The country's gross domestic product is expected to rise 3.4 pct in fiscal 2021 from the previous year in price-adjusted real terms, the central bank said.
   The BOJ unveiled the new forecast as part of a quarterly economic and price outlook report released after its two-day monetary policy meeting. In the previous July report, the BOJ had projected 3.8 pct GDP growth.
   The bank said that the country's core consumer price index, excluding fresh food prices, is expected to be flat in fiscal 2021 from the previous year, a downward revision from its previous projection for a 0.6 pct rise.
   "Japan's economy has picked up as a trend, although it has remained in a severe situation due to the impact of COVID-19 at home and abroad," the BOJ said.
