From the beginning to read diagonally the Asahi Shimbun, I became spend time so that I read the weekly and monthly magazines.
Among them, I have been impressed with is the excellence of the Voice is a monthly magazine that PHP Institute has issued.
The following is from the editorial over 111 pages from the 104 pages of this month's issue.
The Prime Minister, the tax increase are impossible.
The sin of the weather economist
Who was that? Had been forecast as the impact of tax increase will remain in minor is.
Youichi Takahashi ( Kaetsu professor ), Coming from Tokyo in 1955.
In 80, it enters the Ministry of Finance.
It holds the Financial Bureau Asset-Liability Management Office head of an office, and served as a Cabinet Counsellor and so on.
It plays an active part as " the control tower of the reform " in the primary Abe Cabinet. Shichihei Yamamoto prize winning in 2008.
The new publication, " The counterattack of Abenomics " ( PHP Institute )
It is only inaccuracy in case of being soon and seeing.
8 % of excise percentage aggravated business conditions roughly beyond the level of the reaction decrease.
When seeing some the consumption level index in the family budget survey which the government released on June 27th, 2014, the consumption level index in May, 2014 is 7.8 % of negatives in the year-on-year comparison for the same month.
It was depression, since then with 8.1 % of deficits about March, 2011 when the eastern Japan great earthquake occurred.
Because the worst value of 33 years is March, 2011 recently, it is what and the figure which is bad for the 2nd.
Also, when seeing the year-on-year comparison for the same month of the domestic private demand ( the base which excludes a ship and electric power ) with orders-for-machinery statistics, the figure is worse than the time ( 1989, 97 ) of the excise tax increase by the past twice.
The domestic private demand is the leading indicator of the private equipment investment.
GDP ( the gross domestic product ) is composed of private consumption, private equipment investment, public department, department of foreign affairs and so on and accounts for about 70 percent of GDP among these in the private consumption and the private equipment investment.
That the yellow signal came out to both of the private consumption and the private equipment investment means that the signature of the yellow signal burned in the Japanese economy.
Because the private consumption and the private equipment investment are bad, business conditions, too, is aggravated of course.
It has been asked of how do you become if increasing in the tax before from Abe Prime Minister.
It answered that it does the business conditions becomes bad but it became exactly actually.
It was expected but why did you become such a situation?
Like announcement, excise increase tax law was decided by the Democratic Party administration in those days, and Liberal Democratic Party's, New Komeito's 3 party agreement in August, 2012.
When Abe administration was born, the tax increase was decided by the law and it said that Abe Prime Minister himself was skeptical with the tax increase, but it decided a consumption tariff on October 1st, 2013 and decided drawing up on 8 %.
It is the opinion of the intention of Ministry of Finance which is only called, anyway, it wants to increase in the tax, and the tax increase government-patronized scholar, the economist who insists on the influence of the tax increase is slight that had an influence on the process of the tax increase decision.
What of the persons such as the influence to give the business conditions even if it increases an excise in the tax is slight when looking back, is it about 1 year before and what were many?
How do they intend to take the consequences in their own remark?
At this article, it goes back to the past, it continues the claim of the putting-on of doing tax increase being and it wants to decide verifying the illogicalness of the people who ruined national economy.
This article continues.
