일본 경제, 경기침체 진입 (E)


일본 경제가 공식적으로 침체 국면에 들어갔습니다.

오늘 발표된 정부 경제통계에 따르면, 세계2위의 경제대국 일본은 지난 3/4분기 경제성장률이 0.1% 떨어졌습니다.

일본의 경제성장률은 지난 2/4분기에도 0.9% 떨어져 2분기 연속 성장률이 하락세를 보였습니다. 일반적으로 2분기 연속 마이너스 경제성장을 보일 경우 경기가 침체 국면에 들어간 것으로 간주됩니다. 일본이 경기 침체에 빠진 것은 지난 2001년 이후 처음입니다.

세계 금융위기로 일본 뿐만 아니라 다른 주요 국가들의 경제도 어려움을 겪고 있습니다. 지난주 유럽연합은 유로화를 공식 화폐로 사용하고 있는 15개 국가들이 경기침체 국면에 들어갔다고 밝혔습니다. 미국 역시 지난 3/4분기 경제성장률이 0.3% 떨어져, 경기침체 국면으로 향하고 있다는 전문가들의 지적이 나오고 있습니다.


Japan's economy is officially in a recession.

Official data released today (Monday) show the world's second-largest economy contracted by one tenth of one percent in the three months ending in September.

This marks the second quarter in a row that Japan's economy has experienced a decline -- there was a nine-tenths percent contraction between April and June.

The world financial crisis has wreaked havoc on the world's major economies. Japan is now in its first recession since 2001.

Recession is most often defined as two consecutive three-month periods of negative economic growth.

Last week, the European Union said 15 nations that use the euro as their currency are officially in a recession. And many experts believe the U.S. economy is headed into recession -- it contracted by three tenths of one percent July and September.
