中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯6月20日消息，国际货币基金组织（IMF）的一份报告称，尽管日本是石油净进口国，但是低油价已经给日本经济带来负面影响。日本已经受到新兴市场经济增长放缓和金融市场动荡的不利影响，部分是受到大宗商品价格疲软的驱动。这已经减缓了日本的投资和消费。此外日本增长的疲软已经影响了一些市场，如液化天然气，日本是主要的液化天然气消费国。

Low Oil Prices Have Knock-on Effect on Japan, IMF Says

Lower oil prices have had a knock-on negative effect on the Japanese economy, despite the country being a net importer of oil, according to a report from the International Monetary Fund. Japan has been adversely affected by the slowdown in growth in emerging markets and volatility in financial markets, driven partly by weak commodity prices. This slowed investment and consumption in Japan. Additionally, weaker growth in Japan has affected markets, such as liquefied natural gas, where Japan is a major consumer.
