Eh. Would be my opinion.
Too early to make any judgements.

Abe has yet to show he has any of the backbone required to institute his third arrow, and none of his policies really deal with Japan's crippling demographics problem....

and his second arrow may end up being one of those Haweke boomerang arrows that comes back to shoot him in the ass as it will be near impossible to achieve the second step of it.

shutting down their nuclear plants was probably a mistake.

Back to the demographic problem, Arrow 1 is only achievable due to the Japanese legendary local market for it's own debt... and due to demographic issues, it's questionable how much longer that demand will be around.


Also, while i'm all for women in the workforce, I don't see how that's supposed to cause a big growth spurt. If this were the Japan of 10 years ago when companies like Sony and Sharp were the dominant market players sure...

More workers with less demand is just a recipe for higher unemployment.
