The Kanto Finance Bureau published its economic situation report for 1 metropolitan area and 9 prefectures under jurisdiction (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Yamanashi, Nagano, Niigata) on July 29, 2025, presenting an overall assessment of "recovering." This maintains the previous month's assessment, indicating continued improvement trends in the regional economy.
The Kanto region is the core area of Japan's economy, with an economic scale accounting for approximately 45% of total GDP. The "recovery" assessment for this broad economic zone holds extremely important significance for overall domestic economic recovery.
Personal consumption is evaluated as "recovering," with confirmed improvements in retail sales and consumer sentiment recovery.
