History

Historical Context

Japan's economic stagnation, known as the "Lost Decade," began after the asset price bubble burst in 1990, leading to a nearly 80% decline in the Nikkei index from its peak of 38,915.87. Despite efforts like lowering interest rates to 0.5%, recovery remained elusive. Today, the Nikkei's fluctuations reflect ongoing market volatility, influenced by global economic trends and domestic policies.
