GDP growth will be penalized by the impact of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The congressional Budget now estimate that the storms will reduce GDP growth in the 2nd half of 2005 by one half of a percentage point, with most of the damage in the 3rd quarter.
Investors are optimistic that Prime Minister Koizumi’s landslide victory last month will pring broad policy for Japan. Recent data releases suggest that the surge in inventory accumulation that energized the economy in the first half of 2005 has reached longer term sustainable levels.
