Video Report: Global Economic and Financial Trends and Japan in 2025 (Dr. Sayuri Shirai, Professor, Faculty of Policy Management, Graduate School of Media and Governance, Keio University）
post date : 2025.01.14
Although the Bank of Japan did not raise interest rates further as expected in December 2024, the Japanese economy has shown signs of a virtuous economic cycle, with consumption picking up and a gradual recovery of the Japanese economy underway. As observers watch to see what the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy will be in 2025, there is also significant interest in factors that could impact the market environment, such as the effect of the return of the “America First” Trump administration on the global economy and trade policies, conflicts around the world including the Middle East and Ukraine, and geopolitical risks such as North Korea and the situation with Taiwan and the South China Sea.
The FPCJ has invited Dr. Sayuri Shirai, a former Member of the Policy Board of the Bank of Japan and macroeconomics specialist who is a professor at the Keio University Faculty of Policy Management, to discuss Global Economic and Financial Trends and Japan in 2025.
The briefing was attended by journalists from France, Germany, Korea, Russia, Singapore and USA.
