What is the future of Japan’s economy?

Charles R. Tokoyama, CEO of Japan Insiders, provides an insight into the current and future state of Japan's economy. Despite facing challenges such as an aging population, rising public debt, and stagnant wages, the economy is currently strong with GDP growth expected to remain positive in 2021 due to government initiatives such as cash handouts and tax cuts. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has implemented his "Abenomics" policies to stimulate economic activity and other initiatives such as "womenomics" are being pursued to increase female participation in the workforce. International trade is highly dependent on exports for economic growth and potential growth sectors include renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, AI & robotics, digital health care services & telemedicine technologies, 5G internet networks & IoT connectivity solutions, tourism & hospitality services etc. Overall, it appears that there is potential for further economic growth in Japan going forward.
