DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES

CONCLUSION

Eurozone is not in japanisation situation,

but Japan’s experience points to risks.

Avoidance is as much about political

space (reforms) as it is about policy

space (instruments)

SIMILARITIES

Little

monetary

room left

Absent sufficient

action, risk of falling

into self-perpetuating

low growth and

inflation trap

is high

Labour growth

structure

More responsive
