Is Japan reopening soon?
Japan has slowly begun to reopen its economy since the implementation of a state of emergency in April 2020, with many businesses and services now operating at reduced capacity. The Japanese government has developed a plan for how it will continue reopening the country over the coming months while still ensuring that public health is protected. There are still several challenges to be overcome before Japan can fully reopen its economy, such as international travel restrictions, job losses and low consumer confidence. The tourism industry has been particularly hard hit by these restrictions, but there are potential benefits associated with reopening Japan's economy such as creating jobs, stimulating spending and boosting local economies.
