🏯 Japan's Unique Inflation Story
Japan's inflation history is unlike any other developed nation: from rapid post-war growth with moderate inflation (1950s-1980s), through the catastrophic asset bubble burst (1991), to unprecedented "Lost Decades" of deflation (1998-2013). With cumulative deflation of only 4% over 15 years, Japan experienced the longest deflationary period in modern history. Recent "Abenomics" policies finally achieved 2% inflation targets, with 2023 marking 3.27% - the highest in almost a decade. Data sources: Bank of Japan, OECD, World Bank.
