Abstract

In Japan ist das reale Bruttoinlandsprodukt im Jahr 2002 nur um 0,2% gestiegen. Die Arbeitslosenquote lag im Jahresdurchschnitt bei 5,4%, und die Preise sanken - im vierten Jahr in Folge - um 0,9%. In diesem Jahr dürfte das reale BIP um 2,7% expandieren. Auf dem Arbeitsmarkt wird sich keine Verbesserung einstellen, und die Verbraucherpreise werden nochmals um 0,4% fallen. 2004 wird das reale BIP um 1,8% zunehmen. Die Arbeitslosenquote wird sich auf 5,5% erhöhen und die Konsumentenpreise werden sich um 0,3% verringern.
