I wonder how this plays tomorrow, but is this basically the end of the lost decades for japan? Is japan alive again?

It was never dead, but Japan was punching way over its weight until the early 90s and thought that would go on forever. They are very prideful and hence they created the fairy tale of lost decades to pretend to themselves that the sort of growth and wealth they experienced during the bubble economy were their baseline and anything less meant a „loss“. Maybe in 3 or 5 decades from now they’ll be comfortable enough with the idea that they aren’t the superior race of the world and that their current level is just fine. So yes they’re alive, but not „again“. They will never repeat their economic miracle.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The BOJ raised its short-term interest rates to around 0% to 0.1% from -0.1%, according to its statement at the end of its two-day March policy meeting.

This represents the sharpest pullback in its decades-old radical policy tinkering in the form of asset purchases and quantitative easing to reflate the world’s fourth-largest economy.

The BOJ had barely budged from its ultra-loose monetary policy posture despite “core core inflation” — which excludes food and energy prices — exceeding its 2% target for more than a year, because policymakers viewed price increases as largely imported.

Ongoing “shunto” spring wage negotiations between Japan Inc and its unionized workers have so far yielded a weighted average 3.7% spike in base pay, Rengo, Japan’s largest federation of trade unions, said Friday in its first provisional update.

BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda had repeatedly said the outcome of this year’s annual “shunto” wage negotiations would be key to sustainable price increases.

The Bank of Japan expects higher salaries to lead to a virtuous spiral, with domestic demand fueling inflation.
