Abenomics for Asia

For two decades, as one Asian economy after another boomed, Japan’s economy remained virtually stagnant. Now, with Asia’s two giants, China and India, slowing down – and perhaps impeding economic performance in much of the rest of Asia – Japan is recording its strongest growth since the 1980’s.
