Japan's economy to shrink 4.7% in 2020/21: BOJ

Japan has seen a 99.9% drop in international tourism; hence the drop in demand for f2f services.

A 5% contraction in economic activity actually looks like a positive result, to me. I was thinking it'd be more like a 10% contraction.

Maybe Abenomics was working after all!!

The early 90s sucked and the 2020s are shaping up to be the same.

The more I stay here the more depressed I get...
