U.S. President Trump announced that starting August 1, a 25% tariff will be imposed on imported products from Japan. Tashiro Hidetoshi, chief economist at Japan Unlimited LLC, stated that if a 25% tariff is widely applied to other categories of goods, it would pose a fatal blow to manufacturers in almost all sectors of Japan's industry. In fact, this impact has already begun to show; currently, many small and medium-sized enterprises that produce components for large companies have lost their orders, and the issue is no longer a matter of 'potential occurrence,' but rather 'is happening.' This will have a devastating impact on the overall Japanese economy. Recently, the Cabinet Office of Japan announced that the May Business Conditions Index shows that the overall assessment of the economic situation has turned to 'deterioration' for the first time since July 2020, indicating a high likelihood that the Japanese economy is in a recession.
