The prime minister also vowed “unceasing” efforts to achieve the goal of raising the average minimum wage to 1,500 yen an hour by the end of the 2020s, from the current around 1,000 yen

Ishiba is gaslighting us. The current National Minimum Wage in Australia is $24.10, or 2,375 yen. The National Living Wage in the UK will be £11.44, or 2,217 yen, from April 1. I could give other examples.

Good luck with the wage increase spreading happiness, when December’s CPI was 3.6%, half as much again as the UK or EU and even quite a bit higher than the US. REAL interest rates in those three areas are around two percent. Japan’s is MINUS three. So the country should be booming
