Abstract

With the focus of most governments and central bankers being on fighting inflation, how do we cope with the sudden re-emergence of deflation? It isn’t new- Japan has struggled with that for decades, certainly since the collapse of its property markets back in the 90s.iAnd it is only now enjoying a return to inflation, partly due to higher energy prices which have finally done what years of monetary injection and zero interest rate policy had failed to do . Japanese inflation has stayed sustainably above zero for the last two years and is currently at 3.3%.
