The global crisis triggered a deep recession that is likely to be the most severe in Japan’s post-war history. The contraction in world trade led to a sharp plunge in exports and business investment, while falling employment and wages have reduced private consumption, leading to a projected output decline of almost 7% in 2009. Fiscal stimulus is expected to lift output growth into positive territory from the second half of 2009, although at a rate that remains below 1% through 2010.
