1. Macroeconomic Environment 1-1 Macroeconomic Environment Global Financial & Economic Conditions In Japan, even though weakness has appeared in some export sectors, gradual economic recovery is likely to continue. Factors that warrant attention include effects of trade friction between China and the United States, increasing uncertainty about the Chinese economy, progress in negotiations over the British vote to leave the European Union, and effects of negotiations over the Trade Agreement on Goods (TAG) between the United States and Japan In the United States, even if economic growth centered on consumer spending and capital expenditure continues, growth may slow. Factors that warrant attention include trends in short and long-term interest rates, effects of trade friction between China and the United States, developments in the United Kingdom after leaving the European Union, and the evolution of the 2020 US Presidential election Financial and currency markets warrant attention as instability is expected to increase due to effects of increasing global economic uncertainty Business Environment (Office Buildings in Japan) Vacancy rates in Tokyo s five central wards have fallen to below the 2% level; upward trend in rents in some areas, including central Tokyo, continues Market appears to be gradually nearing peak (Office Buildings in the United States) Vacancy rates continue to fall in leading cities; rents, however, are flat in some cities Market appears to have mostly peaked (Hotels) Pace of growth in number of hotel guests from abroad has somewhat slowed, and Japanese guest numbers are on a downward trend New or expanded hotel capacity continues to come on line at high level Competition expected to grow fiercer going forward, and risk of weakening in occupancy rates and revenue per room warrants attention 2
