G1 Global Conference 2013
Opening and Plenary Session I
A Stronger Japan: Impact on Asia and the World
With an emphasis on measures to boost economic growth, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is pressing forward to lift the Japanese economy out of prolonged deflation. Fortified by a
resounding victory in July's Upper House election, is the Abe government now in a position to carry out bold and substantial economic reforms? How do the prospects for a Japanese recovery impact on its relations with the rest of the world? This session features a keynote speech by Minister Hayashi, followed by a panel discussion joined by Dr. Robert Feldman, a leading economist with expertise on Japan, moderated by Mr. Nik Gowing.
