日本内阁府17日公布，日本三季度实际国内生产总值（GDP）按年率计算下降1.8%，自2024年第一季 度以来再次出现负增长。分析人士指出，受困于内需与外需的双重压力，以及对华关系持续紧张，日本 经济正滑向更为复杂的境地。 数据显示，日本今年三季度实际GDP（剔除物价变动因素）比上一季度下降0.4%。日媒分析指出，国 内需求疲软和出口低迷是导致GDP下滑的主要原因。 自5月以来，受美国关税影响，日本出口连续4个月萎缩。尽管日美双方于7月份达成协议，将"对等关 税"税率设定为15%，但历史高位的关税水平仍然抑制了制造业的发展，对其出口依赖型经济构成严重 冲击。受此影响，三季度货物及服务贸易出口大幅下降，环比下降1.2%，拖累GDP增速0.2个百分点。 进口因内需疲软环比下降0.1%。 与此同时，内需方面，占日本经济总量过半的私人消费增速也显著放缓，增速从第二季度的0.4%放缓 至0.1%，这再次表明，由于生活成本高企导致实际工资停滞不前，日本家庭仍在削减可自由支配的支 出。 截至发稿，日经225指数跌破49000点关口，日内跌超1300点。 来源：经济日报 日本内阁府此前发布中期经济预测报告称，考虑到美国关税政策 ...

Summary by Catalog 1.江阴地区短纤工厂调研情况汇总 1.1 近期内需和销售订单情况 - Short - fiber factories reported that recent domestic demand was generally good. In November, the demand situation was significantly better than in previous years. The market was dominated by rigid - demand purchases, and there was relatively little speculative demand. Differentiated products such as color - spun, cationic, and recycled black silk were in high demand and had tight supply. Enterprises were optimistic about the continuation of this peak season, expecting it to last until December or mid - to - late December [8]. 1.2 近期出口需求情况以及公司海外布局情况 - The export demand of short - fiber enterprises remained stable, with an export proportion generally between 20% - 30%. Main export markets included Europe, Turkey, and Southeast Asia. Short - fiber enterprises were cautious about overseas layout and mainly focused on market expansion. They were confident about next year's exports [9]. 1.3 近期工厂的开工和利润 - Short - fiber factories maintained a high operating rate, basically at full capacity. Current processing profits were generally good, and enterprises optimized cash flow by configuring differentiated products. Some enterprises might be more active in annual long - term contract negotiations or reduce the contract scale [10]. 1.4 当前原料库存情况 - The current raw material inventory of short - fiber factories was relatively stable. The difference mainly came from the procurement model. Some PTA inventories were maintained at 7 - 10 days, and MEG inventories were about 10 days. Raw material procurement was mainly through contracts, with a contract ratio of about 50% - 60% [11]. 1.5 当前成品库存情况 - The overall finished - product inventory was at a low level. Standard product inventories were generally controlled within 7 - 10 days, and some enterprise inventories of certain models dropped to single - digit levels. Non - standard product inventories were relatively high, but the overall pressure was not large [12]. 1.6 对未来行情的展望 - Enterprises were relatively optimistic about the short - term market, but had different views on the demand after December. They expected the export market to maintain stable growth next year, but also needed to pay attention to the impact of polyester capacity expansion in regions such as India and Indonesia [14]. 2. 江浙织造、家纺企业调研情况汇总 2.1 近期内需和销售情况 - The recent domestic demand of polyester terminals was differentiated, with clothing performing better than home textiles, knitting better than weaving, and texturing better than fabric - making. The terminal demand was mainly domestic, with good demand for autumn and winter clothing and ammonia - spandex super - soft home clothes, while the demand for traditional home textile categories was relatively weak. Seasonal orders recovered from mid - October to November, but the sustainability of new orders was insufficient [15]. 2.2 近期开工和利润情况 - Most enterprises had a high operating rate for different reasons. In terms of profit, texturing showed a month - on - month recovery, the grey fabric sector was basically at the break - even point, and fabric profits were generally average. Enterprises tried various methods to make up for comprehensive profits [16]. 2.3 近期出口需求情况以及海外布局情况 - After the new tariff negotiation, some foreign trade shipments improved, but there was no surge in textile and clothing exports. Enterprises were actively seeking overseas development opportunities, but overseas projects still faced uncertainties [17]. 2.4 企业当前的原料和库存情况 - Raw material procurement was relatively cautious, mainly spot purchases for immediate use. The raw material inventory cycle was mostly 15 - 30 days, and some enterprises stocked up until mid - November [20]. 2.5 企业当前的成品库存情况 - The inventory levels of enterprises were differentiated. Most enterprises had low physical inventories, significantly lower than during the trade war in the first half of the year. Some enterprises reduced inventory through production cuts and price reductions [21]. 2.6 对未来行情的展望 - Enterprises were cautious about the pre - holiday market and expected to consider early holidays in mid - January to control inventory. In the long term, factors such as intensified domestic competition and tariff policy fluctuations would continue to pressure the industry [22]. 3. 总结与展望 - Domestic demand provides strong short - term support, and exports are expected to improve in the long term. There is still an opportunity for positive demand feedback within the year. The resilience of the terminal is stronger than the market expected. It is not recommended to bet against demand too early [23]. - Although the recent Sino - US negotiation result has not brought obvious export growth, the overall export tariff has dropped to more than 30%, and the long - term tax rate expectation is relatively stable, which is beneficial to exports in the long run [24]. - The fiber sector has high operating rates, low inventories, and neutral profits, and can maintain its operation. In the medium term, there are many new installations, and the supply - demand balance will face pressure in 2026 [23][29]. 4. 附录：调研信息汇总表 - The appendix provides detailed information on the surveyed enterprises, including their general situation, recent operating and profit conditions, domestic demand and sales, export demand, raw material and finished - product inventory, overseas layout, and outlook for future market conditions [35][38]

Core Viewpoint - The "15th Five-Year Plan" emphasizes significantly increasing the resident consumption rate as a primary goal for economic and social development, aiming to enhance domestic demand as a key driver of economic growth [1][2][4]. Economic Growth and Domestic Demand - China has a vast domestic market with substantial growth potential, and domestic demand is crucial for economic development. The retail sales of consumer goods have grown at an average annual rate of 5.5% over the past four years, with service consumption accounting for 46.1% of total consumption [1][2]. - The low resident consumption rate indicates that the advantages of China's large market have not been fully realized, highlighting the need to stimulate domestic demand amid external uncertainties [2][4]. Strategies to Enhance Resident Consumption - To improve the resident consumption rate, it is essential to enhance consumer capacity, innovate consumption scenarios, and optimize the consumption ecosystem. Key measures include stabilizing employment and increasing income, improving income distribution, and expanding the supply of quality goods and services [4][5]. - Strengthening social security and public services can reduce precautionary savings, thereby encouraging consumption [4][5]. Systematic Policy Framework - A systematic policy framework is proposed to enhance the resident consumption rate, which includes optimizing government expenditure structure and reinforcing institutional guarantees to activate the domestic market [7][8]. - The construction of a unified national market is essential, requiring the elimination of local protectionism and market segmentation, while enhancing investment in human capital and public services [7][8]. Long-term Mechanisms and Innovation - Establishing long-term mechanisms to expand consumption is vital, with a focus on technological innovation to drive new productive forces and build a modern industrial system [8]. - Continuous reforms and opening up are necessary to activate endogenous growth dynamics and ensure sustainable economic growth [8].
