Over the years, Mint, through its Clarity Through Debate trail-blazer series has been flagging topical public policy issues and challenges and acquired a niche of its own in the corporate mindscape as a thought leader in the financial sector. Good work. Kudos and my best wishes for the Mint Team. 2.
Persistent deflation has created an environment in which the status quo is better than making investment in new initiatives, and has brought a sense of stagnation to Japan. In an economy with few new challenges and investment, growth potential will decline gradually. Therefore, it is necessary to overcome deflation this time around and enhance people’s willingness to take on new challenges.
