Abstract: Abenomics entered its third year of implementation in 2015 with mixed results. The qualitative and quantitative easing had caused Japanese monetary base to surge to 70% of its nominal gross domestic product. Inflation had turned positive in 2015, but remained far below the 2% target set. Government debt continued to climb. Wage growth was too little to increase household consumption. The positive effects of Abenomics were likely to be counterbalanced by the ageing population.
