  • 📢 Japan Economic Outlook 2025: A Must-Read for Institutional Investors Economic Growth: Japan’s economy is set to improve gradually, driven by increased personal consumption from rising wages and supportive government policies. Real GDP growth in 2024 is constrained due to issues in the car manufacturing sector, but capital investment and technological advancements offer positive momentum for the future. Monetary Policy: A rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) is expected around late 2024 or early 2025, with further attention on the US Federal Reserve’s rate cut pace. Rising wages and inflation could prompt additional rate hikes by mid-2025. Equity Market: The Japanese equity market shows robust potential, bolstered by increasing tourism and higher real wages, which benefit the Service sector. The new NISA and raised iDeCo contribution limits are driving substantial investments, strengthening market performance. FX Outlook: The Japanese yen's movement will reflect Japanese and US monetary policies. With the BoJ's consistent rate plans and US Fed's cautious approach to cutting rates, the yen is expected to range between 140-160/USD by mid-2025. Risk Factors: Key risks include potential US tariffs under the Trump administration, a slowing Chinese economy, geopolitical tensions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and volatile USD-JPY exchange rates. Stay informed by following these economic trends to make well-informed investment decisions in Japan. #JapanEconomicOutlook #MonetaryPolicy #EquityMarket #InstitutionalInvestors #InvestmentInsights https://lnkd.in/ei-Wu9HY

    The upper reaches of the Tama River are where you will find SuMiTAM Forest. Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Asset Management and its employees take care of this portion of Japan’s forest under an agreement with the Bureau of Waterworks of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. On October 25th, twenty employees including our President Yoshio Hishida volunteered to hike into the forest to spend the day deepening their understanding of the forest and our SDG goals. Our company made the agreement establishing SuMiTAM Forest with the Bureau in 2019 as part of our SDG initiatives. SuMiTAM is dedicated to helping the forest carry out its role in the conservation of biodiversity. Our employees conduct forest and water-related volunteer activities every year as part of our commitment to preserving this precious natural environment, contributing to our SDG goals. #SuMiTAM #SDGs #ESG #sustainability

    Reducing Japan’s greenhouse gas emissions 50% by 2050 relies on the success of its Green Transformation (GX) initiative. This crucial initiative will be featured as part of the GX Urban Village at the largescale Horticultural Expo 2027 in Yokohama. While at its core the Expo promotes horticultural and landscaping culture and technologies, it seeks to educate visitors on how those domains connect to their everyday lives – and GX is part of that important agenda. Our Chief Portfolio Manager Katsunori Ogawa introduces the Expo and GX in our latest Coffee Break Column.
