Like the bright lights in Tokyo’s Ginza shopping district, Japan has dazzled global investors this year. The Nikkei index is up almost 40 per cent and “Abenomics” – the economic policies of Shinzo Abe, prime minister – shows signs of working: economic growth has accelerated and, after two deflation-hit “l(fā)ost decades”, consumer prices are rising, albeit on the back of higher imported energy costs.
與東京銀座(Ginza)商業(yè)區(qū)璀璨的燈光一樣,日本今年讓全球投資者感到目眩神迷。日經(jīng)指數(shù)今年以來(lái)上漲近40%,同時(shí)有跡象顯示,日本首相安倍晉三(Shinzo Abe)推行的經(jīng)濟(jì)政策——“安倍經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)”(Abenomics)開(kāi)始奏效:經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)已經(jīng)加速,而且在歷經(jīng)兩個(gè)飽受通縮之苦的“失去的十年”之后,消費(fèi)者價(jià)格正在上漲,盡管這是在進(jìn)口能源價(jià)格上升的情況下。
