経済・物価情勢の展望(10月、基本的見解)[PDF 559KB]

The Bank of Japan's October 2026 economic and price outlook predicts that Japan's economy will grow steadily in 2026 despite downward pressures from energy and raw material price increases due to the Middle East situation, supported by global AI demand, government policies, and accommodative financial conditions. For 2027 and beyond, the negative impact of energy prices is expected to wane, with a positive income-to-expenditure cycle driving growth. Prices are projected to rise above 2% due to oil price increases, semiconductor costs, and yen depreciation affecting durable goods, but this is expected to ease later. The core inflation rate is forecast at around 2%, aligning with the price stability target. Risks include Middle East tensions, AI demand expansion, and exchange rate fluctuations, with a higher risk of price increases exceeding the target.

日本銀行が発表した2026年10月の経済・物価見通しでは、2026年度は中東情勢によるエネルギー・原材料価格の上昇が経済に下押し要因となるが、グローバルなAI需要や政府施策、金融緩和が下支えとなり、緩やかな成長が続くと予想される。2027年度以降はエネルギー価格の影響が減衰し、所得から支出への前向きな循環が強まることで成長率が上昇する見通し。物価面では、原油価格上昇や半導体価格の上昇、為替円安の影響で消費者物価(除く生鮮食品)が2%を上回る可能性があるが、後半には落ち着く見込み。中長期的な物価上昇率は2%程度で、物価安定目標と整合的。リスクとして中東情勢、AI需要の拡大、為替変動が挙げられ、物価上昇の上振れリスクが特に注視される。
