Regarding the assessment of the current state of the Japanese economy, the August Monthly Economic Report states, “The Japanese economy is recovering at a moderate pace. ”
 
Furthermore, in regard to short-term prospects, the Report states, “The economy is expected to continue recovering, supported by the effects of the policies, while employment and income situation is improving. However, attention should be given to the risks including the effects of situations over trade issues on the world economy, the uncertainty in overseas economies and the effects of fluctuations in the financial and capital markets. ”
