景気・物価見通し、下げ検討　金融政策は維持か―３０日から日銀会合

　日銀は３０日から２日間の日程で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）」を取りまとめる。トランプ米政権の高関税政策の影響から、同リポートでは景気や物価見通しの下方修正を検討する見込み。金融政策については現状維持の公算が大きい。
　トランプ米大統領は日本に対しても高関税を課す方針を示しており、輸出の減少や企業収益悪化への懸念が広がっている。これを受け、日銀は２０２５年度の成長率見通し（１月時点１．１％）の下方修正を検討する。
　一方、物価上昇率見通しについても、景気の下振れを受けて２５年度（同２．４％）、２６年度（同２．０％）ともに引き下げを議論する。（2025/04/25-17:13）

The Bank of Japan is expected to consider revising down its forecasts for the country's economy and prices in a quarterly report to be adopted at its two-day policy-setting meeting from Wednesday, due to the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's high tariff policy.
   Meanwhile, the Japanese central bank is likely to keep its monetary policy unchanged.
   Trump indicated his intention to impose high tariffs on Japanese products as well, fueling concerns that Japanese companies could face declining exports and deteriorating earnings. Against this backdrop, the BOJ is projected to consider lowering its fiscal 2025 growth forecast for the Japanese economy, which stood at 1.1 pct in its latest Outlook for Economic Activity and Prices report released in January.
   Furthermore, given the possibility of an economic downturn, the BOJ is expected to consider lowering its core consumer price index outlook for fiscal 2025, which started this month, and also for fiscal 2026. In the January report, the central bank said it expects the core CPI to go up 2.4 pct in fiscal 2025 and rise 2.0 pct in the following year.
   The BOJ currently expects that its price stability target of 2 pct will be realized stably around fiscal 2026, which is in the latter half of the projection period of the outlook report.
