The Post-Abenomics Japanese Economy

Summary of this issue

The Abe administration ended in 7 years and 8 months, and the new Suga administration was inaugurated. What does Abenomics, the economic policy implemented by the Abe administration, actually bring to the Japanese economy? At this meeting, we examined the effects of Abenomics and actively discussed how to deal with the remaining issues. Specifically, we focused on aspects such as finance, labor, and foreign economic policy, and exchanged opinions.
