日本の成長に下振れリスク　日銀は緩和撤回が適切―ＩＭＦ

　【ワシントン時事】国際通貨基金（ＩＭＦ）は２日、理事会が対日経済審査を完了したと発表した。トランプ米政権の高関税政策による影響を含め、日本の経済成長には下振れリスクがあるとして、財政再建の継続やインフレ見通しの抑制などの必要性を訴えた。
　ＩＭＦ理事らは、日銀の現状の金融政策が緩和的との見方で一致。緩やかな緩和の撤回が適切との見解を示した。（2025/04/02-23:45）

The International Monetary Fund on Wednesday warned of downside risks to Japan's economic growth, stressing the need for the country to continue to rebuild fiscal buffers and re-anchor inflation expectations.
   "Risks to growth are tilted to the downside," the IMF's Executive Board said of the Japanese economy.
   The board said that a gradual withdrawal of the Bank of Japan's monetary accommodation "will be appropriate" if its baseline forecast materializes.
   The IMF board welcomed Japan's longstanding commitment to a flexible exchange rate regime and underscored "the importance of limiting foreign exchange intervention to exceptional circumstances."
   The board said it expects Japan's real gross domestic product growth to rise to 1.2 pct in 2025 from 0.1 pct in 2024. It forecast inflation in the country at 2.4 pct in 2025.
