According to the latest data, the year-on-year contribution of fixed capital formation to Japan's real GDP in Q1 2026 rebounded to 0.2% from -0.1% in the previous quarter, successfully ending a streak of negative contributions. Although Middle East geopolitical risks and surging energy prices have challenged the pace of corporate investment, overall capital formation continues to provide positive momentum for economic expansion, supported by demand for AI infrastructure and automation driven by labor shortages.
