| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In the decades to come, the Japanese workforce can be expected to shrink substantially, causing economic growth to decelerate. On the bright side, however, Japan has been building up a large store of external assets, which are producing a growing flow of income. In fact, the surplus in the income balance topped the country's trade surplus for the first time in 2005. In order to optimize future results, Japan should seek higher yields on its overseas investments; it should also promote more foreign investment in this country, both to improve the balance of its investment structure and to stimulate Japanese management. |
