Japan

Following a trade-induced slowdown in late 2011, public reconstruction spending in response to the Great East Japan Earthquake will help boost growth to around 2% in 2012. As reconstruction outlays wane, the expansion will be supported through 2013 by a pick-up in exports. Deflation is likely to diminish, although the unemployment rate will remain above its pre-2008 crisis level.
