Analysis by Region - Asia Pacific - Japan

We have lowered our 2022 GDP growth forecast for Japan to 2.0% from 2.2%, reflecting downgrades in China's growth outlook in the near term and weak Q1 growth. Lockdowns in China will weigh on Japan's rebound from a dip in Q1 via weak export demand and a resurgence in supply-chain disruptions.
