Japan has been positioned as quite unique country in the world. This country has been in deflated economy over 30 years. Today, you can buy a cup of coffee at 100 yen in McDonalds in Tokyo and 30 years ago, same price. It’s not a normal situation but it happened in Japan until now.

Japan’s CPI number for last December came out as 4% up from an year ago. Last November, it was 3.7%.
