Pre-COVID-19 economic policies under “Abenomics” helped ease financial conditions, exit deflation, and raise labor market participation, but fell short on the deep reforms needed to raise productivity and achieve inclusive and sustainable growth. The Japanese economy is now recovering from the pandemic amid strong policy support that has helped to mitigate the downturn. Ranil Salgado, the IMF’s mission chief for Japan, will discuss current economic developments, the outlook, and policy priorities for Japan, drawing on the recent IMF-Japan Article IV consultations and analytical work. The virtual seminar is jointly hosted by the IMF Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific and the Policy Research Institute of the Ministry of Finance Japan.
