The Sun Also Rises?: Japan’s Potential in The Post-Crisis Global Economy

This program will be recorded and broadcast on NHK World’s GLOBAL AGENDA and its website. By registering and attending this event, you are agreeing to be filmed in the audience and have your presence potentially aired over NHK and its affiliated networks in the future.

Where Japan has led, the western world has largely followed, with manufacturing losing competitiveness, financial sectors hitting trouble, technological change challenging old industries, and ageing demographics imposing heavy burdens on public finances and productivity. But Japan’s early experience of these changes also means that some Japanese corporations and sectors have already begun the process of adapting. What are the potential opportunities for Japan in today’s world? In this program, a group of prominent panel members including former Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, Bill Emmott, discusses the future role and strengths of Japan in this new global economy.

Bill Emmott, Journalist; former Editor-in-Chief, The Economist
