Japan Trading - Nikkei 225 - EUR/JPY
Central Japan Railway Co. plans to begin work on the 5.1 trillion yen ($52 billion) maglev line between Tokyo and Nagoya as early as April. Trials resumed today after the company spent five years building a 24-kilometer extension of a test track. The trains can run at speeds of up to 500 kilometers (310 miles) per hour.
TOKYO — The Japanese government will include more than 1.4 trillion yen in corporate tax cuts in an economic stimulus package intended to offset the blow from planned sales tax hikes, the Nikkei newspaper reported on Friday.
The tax breaks will be part of an economic stimulus in excess of 5 trillion yen, the Nikkei said, as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe prepares to approve on Oct 1 an increase in the sales tax needed to pay for welfare spending.
The sales tax hike is the biggest effort in years by the world’s third-largest economy to contain public debt of more than $10 trillion, which at more than twice the value of gross domestic product is the largest burden among major economies.

Risks to Japan’s recovery are growing because the United States and other major economies may not be able to grow fast enough to pick up the slack from a slowdown in emerging markets, Bank of Japan board member Takahide Kiuchi says.
Exports, a traditional engine of Japan’s growth, may not pick up as much as expected given the global uncertainty, Kiuchi said after data showed exports grew at their fastest pace in three years in August.
“Personally, I see risks to Japan’s economy tilted somewhat toward the downside,” Kiuchi, an economist, told business leaders in Kushiro.

Weil die USA zu langsam wächst? Selbstverschulden wird nicht in betracht gezogen.
Japan’s land prices fell the least since the global financial crisis in the year to July 1, while commercial land in the three biggest cities rose in value for the first time in the same period, the latest signs that deflation is easing its stubborn grip on the country.
Land prices nationwide fell 1.9%, narrowing from the previous year’s 2.7% decline and the smallest drop since 2008, a government survey shows.
This brings Japan closer to ending 22 years of falling land prices - a legacy of the country’s massive 1980s asset bubble.
The gradual narrowing of land-price declines is good news for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whose top priority is ending Japan’s long battle with deflation and spurring sustained growth with an expansionary policy mix of monetary, fiscal and structural reform measures.
“Japan’s overall land prices may turn positive as early as early next year,” said Takashi Ishizawa, chief real estate analyst at Mizuho Securities Co.

Stellt sich die Frage durch was dass verursacht wird. Mal davon abgesehen das die Japaner immer älter und weniger werden, steht Japan nicht gerade gut für die Zukunft aufgestellt da.
Tokio - Japans Premier Shinzo Abe hat entschieden, im April die Mehrwertsteuer von fünf auf acht Prozent zu erhöhen. Er konnte gar nicht anders, obwohl er im Juli im Wahlkampf davon sprach, die Erhöhung zu verschieben. Der Druck der Notenbank, des Finanzministers, des internationalen Währungsfonds und der G-7 war zu groß. Der mit 245 Prozent von Japans Wirtschaftsleistung verschuldete Staat muss endlich beginnen, zumindest das Weiterwachsen seines Schuldenbergs zu stoppen. Er hat kürzlich die Höhe von einer Billiarde Yen erreicht, das sind 7,4 Billionen Euro. nh
