This is a summary of JCER’s long-term economic forecasts through 2060, which was released in Japanese in June 2019.

Key points:

  • Intangible assets are the source of growth while the population may shrink and age.
  • Sharing digital data is key to a healthy competition.
  • Leaving income inequality unaddressed intensifies protectionism, which can cause “a great stagnation”.
