Japan’s economic outlook is looking good as we head into 2019. According to a recent update from the IMF, the Japanese economy has been robust, and GDP growth is estimated to reach 1.1% in 2018. But challenges remain with high public debt, low inflation and weakening potential growth prospects going forward.

With smart management though Abe’s government should be able to ensure that Japan’s economic outlook remain’s buoyant for 2019. This will be a busy year ahead for Asia and no doubt Japanese investors will be anxious to see another decent year of economic growth ahead.
