Over the past quarter-century, Japan has endured prolonged economic stagnation and deflation, with the Bank of Japan maintaining a zero interest rate policy. However, this year, the BOJ finally raised the policy rate to 25bps. Although a small increase in numbers, it signals a significant shift that global capital markets have strongly reacted to, once again recognizing Japan's economic presence.
Japan is currently facing a range of well-recognized challenges and opportunities, such as demographic shifts like population decline and aging, issues in the labor market, challenges in the capital markets like corporate governance, and emerging opportunities like Quantum Technology, which is gaining serious attention.
In this session, we aim to engage in a meta-cognitive discussion, not just about those identified issues and opportunities, but to uncover and recognize the deeper, fundamental triggers that Japan holds—much like how a "25bps" change rippled across the global landscape.
