【环球时报综合报道】日本内阁府周一公布的数据显示，截至3月的3个月内，日本实际国内生产总值 （GDP）按年率计算萎缩0.2%，优于初值所显示的0.7%降幅。此外，日本财务省9日公布的4月国际收 支初值显示，出口减去进口的贸易收支为逆差328亿日元（100日元约合4.98元人民币）。出口增长4.0% 至8.77万亿日元，进口减少2.9%至8.80万亿日元。 针对日本一季度的经济数据情况，日本舆论予以广泛关注。彭博社（日文版）9日分析称，尽管修正后 的数据收窄了负值，但内需未能完全弥补疲软的外需的局面仍然没有改变。由于日本物价高企，个人消 费依然疲软，而围绕美国特朗普政府关税措施的不确定性继续对全球经济构成下行压力。促进个人消费 和持续的出口增长仍是日本经济恢复正增长的关键。 针对特朗普关税，经济再生担当大臣赤泽亮正于5日至8日访问华盛顿，举行了第五轮谈判，但双方仍未 达成共识。日方坚持寻求取消一系列关税措施的政策。据《日本经济新闻》9日报道，赤泽亮正计划本 周再次访问美国，出席第六轮日美关税谈判。这将是赤泽连续4周访问美国。由于七国集团（G7）峰会 将于6月15日至17日在加拿大举行，日本正寻求利用此次机会就关 ...

智通财经APP获悉，周四公布的日本最新工资数据对寻求进一步加息以推进货币政策正常化的日本央行而言是一个积极的进展。数据显示，日本4月基本工 资同比增长2.2%，高于3月经修正后的1.4%;名义工资同比增长2.3%，不及经济学家预期的2.6%。一项更稳定的工资趋势指标则显示，全职工人的工资同比 上涨了2.5%，连续第20个月保持在2%或以上(该指标避免了抽样问题，也不包括奖金和加班费)。但不利的一方面是，实际薪资收入同比下降了1.8%，大于 市场预期的1.6%降幅。 在年度劳资谈判之后，工资前景普遍乐观。日本企业连续第二年承诺将工资提高5%以上。据日本最大工会联合会Rengo的最新统计，一些工人获得了30多年 来最大幅度的加薪。根据日本央行以往研究，这些加薪将在6月左右的工资单中更全面地体现出来。 不过，也有一些经济学家警告称，美国总统特朗普的关税可能压缩企业利润，限制部分企业为员工提供更慷慨薪资的能力。日本央行在其最新的展望报告中 指出，名义工资增长的速度可能会因企业利润下降而在未来放缓，但并未进一步说明具体背景。 Bloomberg Economics经济学家Taro Kimura指出，前几个月的数据受到闰 ...

Economic Overview - Canada is on the brink of a technical recession, with a projected annualized economic contraction of 1% in Q2, followed by a further decline of 0.1% in Q3 [1][3] - The economic downturn is attributed to escalating trade tensions with the U.S., leading to a sharp decline in exports, rising unemployment, shrinking household consumption, and a cooling real estate market [1][3] Trade Tensions - The intensification of trade tensions is a primary catalyst for Canada's economic issues, with the U.S. imposing tariffs and adopting a protectionist stance since the Trump administration [3][4] - Canadian exports have plummeted by 7.4% due to U.S. importers depleting inventories earlier in the year, although some analysts anticipate a slight recovery in exports [3][4] Labor Market and Consumption - Unemployment is expected to rise to 7.2% in the latter half of the year, a level not seen in recent years, indicating deepening economic decline [3][4] - The tightening labor market is negatively impacting consumer confidence, leading to cautious spending behavior, which is crucial as consumer spending constitutes a significant portion of the economy [3][4] Real Estate Market - The Canadian real estate market is experiencing a downturn, with both housing prices and transaction volumes declining, and a further reduction in housing starts is anticipated [3][4] Inflation and Monetary Policy - Inflation is currently above the Bank of Canada's target of 2%, with expected inflation rates of 2.1% and 2.2% for Q3 and Q4 respectively, complicating monetary policy decisions [4][6] - The Bank of Canada faces challenges in balancing growth and inflation control amid uncertainties stemming from trade tensions [4][6] Geopolitical Context - Canadian Prime Minister Carney warns of a shift in U.S.-Canada relations, indicating a move away from deep economic integration towards a more complex relationship [6][10] - The changing U.S. stance from a pro-free trade position to one of protectionism poses significant challenges for Canada, which has historically relied on U.S. exports [6][10] Structural Adjustments - Canada must address internal factors contributing to its economic challenges, such as global economic slowdown, technological changes, and an aging population, while also adapting to external trade pressures [7][9] - The government and businesses need to diversify export markets and enhance self-sufficiency in supply chains to reduce reliance on the U.S. [9][10] Future Outlook - The current economic downturn may signal the beginning of a longer-term challenge, necessitating a reevaluation of Canada's economic model and strategies for sustainable growth [10] - The ability to navigate trade tensions and reshape economic development will be crucial for Canada to secure a favorable position in the evolving global economic landscape [10]

王爷说财经讯：加拿大经济警报！特朗普关税战冲击下，经济学家警告：加拿大经济或已经陷入衰退！ 为什么这样说？接下来，加拿大经济又会如何？一起来看看。 市场普遍觉得，加拿大央行在6月会议上调整利率的可能性连三成不到。 5月27日消息，彭博社的最新调查简直给加拿大经济泼了一盆冷水，加拿大很可能已经步入技术性衰退啦！ "罪魁祸首"就是和美国日益加剧的贸易争端，这直接导致了加拿大出口下滑，失业率飙升。 34位经济学家参与调查后给出一致看法，今年第二季度，加拿大经济按年率计算将萎缩1%，第三季度还得下滑 0.1%。 这数字看着就让加拿大人心慌啊！ 那么问题来了：为啥加拿大出口会大幅下滑呢？ 原来是美国总统——特朗普威胁要加征关税，美国的进口商们年初就赶紧抢先完成采购，这么一来，加拿大出口 在当前季度锐减，预估跌幅高达7.4%！虽说分析师预测加拿大出口商在今年晚些时候可能会有小幅回升，但整体 的外贸活力还是被限制得死死的。 贸易紧张的影响可不只出口，加拿大劳动力市场也开始吃不消了。 上述经济学家们预计，下半年加拿大失业率会攀升到7.2%，得等到2026年才可能慢慢降下来。同时，加拿大人消 费也变得小心翼翼，房地产市场更是凉 ...

日本政府近日发布的统计数据显示，该国今年第一季度GDP遭遇负增长，这是日本经济时隔一年再次出 现萎缩。日本媒体报道称，美国发起关税战、日本国内物价高涨等问题正进一步拖累日本经济。 日本内阁府于5月16日发布的第一季度经济数据显示，日本实际GDP环比下降0.2%，这一数字比此前经 济学家预测的-0.1%还要严峻，与前一季度0.6%的增长形成鲜明对比。而若按年率计算，第一季度GDP 萎缩达0.7%。 此间分析认为，导致日本GDP萎缩、经济形势持续低迷的原因主要有两个。其一是消费增长持续乏力。 个人消费占日本GDP一半以上，然而第一季度日本消费增长微弱，仅为0.04%，低于此前市场预期0.1% 的增幅。《日本经济新闻》报道称，消费疲软主要是由于物价不断上涨造成，食品等生活必需品价格持 续上涨，大米价格一再突破历史最高点，工资涨幅却迟迟追不上物价涨幅，迫使民众不得不在日常生活 中节约各类开支。 《光明日报》( 2025年05月23日 12版) 其二则是日美关税谈判仍未见转机。日本《产经新闻》报道称，作为首个与特朗普政府展开谈判的国 家，日本仍在关税问题上继续苦苦徘徊。《日本经济新闻》报道认为，作为日本经济支柱产业的汽 ...

21世纪经济报道记者胡慧茵 广州报道 关税冲击波的影响还未显现，日本经济就呈现萎缩的态势。 当地时间5月16日，日本内阁府公布，日本2025年一季度实际国内生产总值（GDP）环比下降0.2%，按 年率下降0.7%，年均下跌幅度远超市场预期的下降0.2%。这也是日本GDP四个季度以来首次呈现环比 负增长。 影响日本经济下滑的原因是，私人消费停滞和出口下降。具体来看，占日本经济产出一半以上的私人消 费在第一季度持平，而市场预期为环比增长0.1%；当季日本出口环比下降0.6%，但同时进口环比上升 了2.9%。这些因素都拖累了当季经济增长。 美国所谓的"对等关税"仍未实施，日本经济似乎已经失去了海外需求的支持，并凸显经济脆弱性。外界 对日本经济的前景越发不乐观。野村综合研究所首席经济学家木内登英在一份报告中指出，在美国于4 月实施关税措施之前，日本经济已显疲软。木内表示，关税的影响可能在二季度更加凸显。这也意味 着，日本正面临着经济陷入技术性衰退的风险。 美日谈判结果尚未明朗，但日本已不可避免受到汽车关税的负面影响。汽车产业是日本第一大经济支 柱，其产值占日本制造业的50%，总产值占到了日本国内生产总值（GDP）的8 ...
