Japan probably slipped into technical recession again in July-September due to a combination of soft external demand, weak private consumption, and a drop in capital spending. This is expected to keep policymakers under pressure to put forth additional monetary and fiscal stimulus in the coming months to again bolster flagging growth.
With its huge debt and reliance on exports it is beginning to look like Japan is a problem that can't be fixed. The massive trade deficit America has with Japan of around 76 billion dollars a year feeds large amounts of money into the country, but its population is aging and shrinking, and Japan's public debt stands at around 230% of its GDP. Below is the latest in a series delving into the woes of the worlds third largest economy.
