Japan's household spending beats forecast, but recovery fragile
Japanese household spending rose for the first time in five months in year-on-year terms in December and at a much faster-than-expected pace, but the government said it was too early to call a bottoming out in consumption's downtrend.

The increase is largely driven by one-off or seasonal factors such as equipment repairs, automobile purchases and cold weather driving up winter apparel demand, an internal affairs ministry official said.

The IMF also said the country needed to be vigilant about monitoring any fallout from the Bank of Japan's interest rate rises, such as an increase in the government's debt-servicing costs and a possible jump in corporate bankruptcies. "As interest rates rise, the cost of servicing the large public debt is expected to double by 2030, putting a premium on a robust debt management strategy," the IMF said in a statement released after its consultation with Japanese policymakers.
