2025年第四季度，日本经济勉强实现增长，扭转了前一季度的深度萎缩态势。2月16日，日本内阁公布 初步经济数据显示，当季实际GDP年化季率初值为0.2%，低于经济学家1.6%的预期中值；环比增长 0.1%，同样低于0.4%的市场预期。 在上一季度监管调整引发的暴跌过后，受滞后修复效应影响，当季民间住宅投资环比实际增长4.8%， 符合市场预期，但作为GDP最大组成部分的消费者支出仅增长0.1%，凸显家庭内需的脆弱性。截至 2025年，日本通胀率已连续四年徘徊在央行2%的目标上方，叠加2025年实际收入同比下滑1.3%、连续 四年缩水的居民购买力，进一步压制了国内消费动能。日本总务省数据显示，2025年日本两人以上家庭 恩格尔系数升至28.6%，创下1981年以来新高，直观反映出民众收支负担的加重。 即便经济复苏缺乏强劲支撑，相关疲软迹象也未改变市场对日本央行年内加息的预期。当前日本经济仍 面临人口老龄化、内需不足等长期结构性挑战，短期增长更多依赖一次性因素拉动，整体复苏格局尚未 出现实质性改善。 市场有风险，投资需谨慎。本文为AI基于第三方数据生成，仅供参考，不构成个人投资建议。 来源：市场资讯 凯投宏观亚太区 ...

越共中央第十四次全国代表大会在2026年1月23日结束后，越南把下一轮五年规划的"增速台阶"抬得很 高：2026—2030年实际GDP年均增速力争达到10%或以上。与过去五年6.5%—7.0%的目标、以及实际 6.2%（剔除2021年为7.2%）相比，这是一次明显加速。 第一大挑战：劳动力红利减弱，生产率压力陡增 在增长核算层面，高盛认为，劳动力因素已不再是可靠的"顺周期推手"。 研报指出，越南劳动年龄人口增速已明显放缓，劳动参与率也处于较高水平，这意味着通过"更多劳动 力"来拉动增长的空间极为有限。在这一现实约束下，政策目标转而高度依赖劳动生产率的跃升。 根据规划，未来五年越南希望将劳动生产率年均增速提升至约8.5%。高盛直言，这一假设本身就具有 相当挑战性： 换言之，如果生产率提升未能如期兑现，即便投资规模扩大，经济增长也可能遭遇边际回报递减的制 约。 据追风交易台，在最新发布的宏观研究报告中，高盛系统评估了越南未来五年力争实现"年均10%以上 实际GDP增长"的发展目标。在高盛看来，这一目标意味着越南经济增长轨迹将出现显著加速，但要在 中期内持续实现双位数增长，仍面临结构性约束与执行层面的双重挑战。 高 ...
