A relatively weak currency (compared to 2008–2013) and a reasonably firm outlook for global trade will continue to help exports this year, although the contribution from the external sector is expected to ease over the coming quarters. Business investment should remain firm on the back of healthy corporate profits and construction related to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. In addition, fiscal and monetary policy will remain supportive.
