Channel: ThinkTech Hawaii
Date: 2024-03-06

And How Does that Decline Affect the Region.  The host for this show is Jay Fidell.  The guest is Carl Baker.  

Carl Baker, senior advisor to Pacific Forum, helps us understand the apparent decline of Japan's economy and how that decline affects and will affect its future and the economics and geopolitics of the region. Japan has been in a lengthy period of stagnation over the past decade ('The Lost Decade') and is now in a recession.  It has had 'asset deflation' and is in a 'liquidity trap,' with high inflation, low wage growth and a delayed recovery from the pandemic, and according to Goldman Sachs it is likely to drop out of the top five economies by 2050 and out of the top ten by 2075.
