IMF世界經濟展望報告：在中東戰爭加劇的情景中，油價在2027年第一季度將達到每桶130美元，並將導致2026年全球經濟增長下滑0.2個百分點，2027年下滑0.5個百分點。

The IMF said in its World Economic Outlook that, despite an expected slowdown, the Bank of Japan is likely to gradually raise interest rates toward neutral, in line with other central banks facing inflationary pressure. It projects Japan’s GDP will slow from 1.2% last year to 0.7% in 2026 and remain at 0.7% in 2027, with fiscal support partly offsetting higher energy costs. The IMF warned only temporary shocks justify ignoring their direct and short-term inflationary effects, and that rising inflation expectations could force central banks to raise nominal rates to keep real borrowing costs stable.
