Angle: Prices will also be high in the second half of the year, and there is a possibility that economic measures reflecting the depreciation of the yen will expand due to time differences

Adjustments have recently been made to the historic depreciation of the yen, but economists believe that high prices due to exchange will continue in the future and will have an effect on a decline in consumption. The effects of the rapid depreciation of the yen from the beginning of the year are expected to be reflected along with time differences, and the expiration of exchange reservations by operating companies due to prolonged depreciation of the yen may also lead to cost increases. If private consumption falls further, there is a possibility that the fall economic measures planned by the government will be larger than expected.
