Even though the Tokyo Olympic ends up in success, we connot be optimistic for the economy, given the fact that the facilities for each game may go into the negative legacy.

With so much happening in Japan for 2020, it can only bode well for this year. Although, 2021 may be somewhat a disappointment with the end of those big events.

Not yet for bubble time but when it does, it blows out the big boom!

This economic stagnation has roots all the way from the 1990s after the Plaza Accord was signed which had a crippling effect on the Japanese economy.

Japan has lost trillions in wealth since then.

Construction, retail, tourism and employment will all see a big boost due to the Olympics. Wages should see a big boost due to falling unemployment, which could hit just 1% by the Olympics.

The key will be continuing the big momentum into 2021.
