【維基百科】Abenomics is a set of policy measures meant to resolve Japan's macroeconomic problems. It consists of monetary policy, fiscal policy, and economic growth strategies to encourage private investment.

Specific policies include inflation targeting at a 2% annual rate, correction of the excessive yen appreciation, setting negative interest rates, radical quantitative easing, expansion of public investment, buying operations of construction bonds by Bank of Japan (BOJ), and revision of the Bank of Japan Act.

Fiscal spending will increase by 2% of GDP, likely raising the deficit to 11.5% of GDP for 2013.

In 2012, the National Diet passed the bill to increase the consumption tax rate to 8% in 2014 and 10% in 2015 to balance the national budget, and it is expected that the tax hike will discourage consumption.

In 1997 the consumption tax was increased from 3% to 5%, and then deflation started; the nominal GDP growth rate was below zero for most of the 5 years after the tax hike. As of May 2013, it has achieved the depreciation of the yen to 102 yen to a dollar, which was stagnating around 80 in 2012.

Also, according to a survey carried out by Nikkei Newspaper in Japan, 74% of the respondents praised the policy in alleviating Japan from the prolonged recession.



【維基百科】安倍經濟學是指日本自由民主黨政治家、日本內閣總理大臣安倍晉三在第二次安倍內閣任內期間所提出的一系列經濟政策以貶值為主體。

「安倍經濟學」的日語名稱是由「安倍」(Abe)和「經濟學」 (economics)的造語而來。雖然此一名詞在2012年 11月開始廣泛使用，但 2006年時的第一次安倍內閣時，自由民主黨幹事長中川秀直就曾使用此稱呼。


為了擺脫日本的經濟通縮，安倍經濟學設立通貨膨脹目標制度﹝inflation targeting﹞，修改日本銀行法的方法，推行大膽的寬鬆貨幣政策。
