I gave up on trusting numbers provided by this regime ever since that labor data scandal.

That's it instead of 0.3 it's 0.5. And that's good news? Well slap my buttocks blue and I might just might manage 0.6 in household spending, before the expected 2.0 tax incress.

There is a direct correlation between the "FX Rate" and the Market in Japan. FX weaker, local market up, FX stronger, local market down... no brainers. Japan bringing more exporters home certainly helps that relationship. For the People in the "High Castles", were you to step down, and walk around amongst those you "govern", you may actually see the real Economy within Japan. It's a mixed bag, and like other Countries has its own lost generations - University leavers stuck in Shopping market teller positions as being a good example.

I wish Politicians could be individually rated, by an Globally independent NGO, just like Countries are rated over their Liability towards corruption. This would make an interesting listing to watch, and I know that one certain leader of Japan, would be rather high up in the list - given recent scandals... that said, those in the UK would probably be above those in China - depending upon the ranking criteria!

OMG. After revised up, it is 0.5%. Humiliating.

More fake figures.
Ganbare Japan!
Just under 2 % growth is pretty good, especially when one considers population is shrinking. To have a strong growing with shrinking population is simply unprecedented. I am puzzled people are saying bad words about the economy. Things are ticking along nicely.
