Japan sinks into recession and loses its position in the global economy

The Japanese economy is in trouble following an unexpected contraction in the last two quarters of 2023.

As a result of this slowdown, Japan would have lost its third place in the world economy.

The poor performance of the Japanese economy has surprised analysts and cast doubt on Japan’s future expansive monetary policies and the Bank of Japan’s plans to end its monetary policy.

The unexpected contraction of the Japanese economy could prompt central bank officials to reconsider their optimistic GDP forecasts for 2023-2024.

The news is blamed by economists on weakening domestic demand, with all major spending categories, including consumption, recording negative figures. The private consumption sector, representing around half of the Japanese economy, fell for the third consecutive quarter, down 0.9% last quarter, as consumers struggled with rising food and fuel prices.

Japan’s dependence on food and energy imports has put further pressure on the cost of living.

Exports recorded annual growth of 11% in the third quarter, buoyed by the yen’s depreciation. Although this helped boost overall growth, it was not enough to counteract the effects of Japan’s internal recession, leading to a deep recession. Stock market resilience can be attributed in part to corporate reforms and high equity yields, reflecting investor confidence in Japan’s future.

Some specialists anticipate a moderate recovery in the first quarter of 2024.

They anticipate stabilizing inflation, wage growth, robust corporate earnings, and growing demand in the IT sector likely to boost private consumption and capital spending.

Analysts warn that Japan’s economic slowdown may persist due to wage stagnation and job shortages.

Structural challenges such as demographic decline, ageing, and lagging competitiveness and productivity require long-term solutions to ensure sustainable economic growth.

Kelly Osbourne praises Ozempic use, stirs controversy

Recent remarks by Kelly Osbourne promoting the use of Ozempic, a diabetes drug used for weight loss, have reverberated through the entertainment industry, eliciting a mix of support and criticism.

In an interview with E!, Kelly Osbourne expressed her approval of this controversial trend, describing it as amazing. She also praised Ozempic as an effective weight loss option, pointing out that it offers a less boring alternative to working out.

Kelly Osbourne’s unreserved endorsement of Ozempic stands out in the midst of many celebrities’ non-saying. It also contrasts with the warnings of her mother, Sharon Osbourne, who shared the drug’s side effects, including nausea and drastic weight loss.

Indeed, Sharon Osbourne expressed her concerns about Ozempic, warning against its use during her appearance on The Talk. She had to discontinue its use due to significant side effects she personally experienced during this period.

Despite Sharon Osbourne’s warnings and her own negative experiences, Kelly Osbourne brushed off criticism of the Ozempic trend, attributing it to envy and the drug’s high cost, estimated at between $1,300 and $1,000 a month.

She claimed that those who criticize the Ozempic trend do so out of desire or frustration at not being able to use it themselves!

Wow…

Ozempic is receiving increased attention, however, following testimonials from celebrities such as Amy Schumer, Boy George, Tracy Morgan and Chelsea Handler.

In particular, Schumer criticized the hypocrisy of her peers regarding the use of dietary supplements for weight loss, while Handler revealed that she had been prescribed Ozempic without her consent and decided to stop after experiencing nausea.

Both Boy George and Tracy Morgan claimed to have used Ozempic in their weight loss efforts.

We now know the date of Trump’s criminal trial

The New York State Court is preparing to begin criminal court proceedings relating to allegations of bribery in a case involving Donald Trump, with jury selection scheduled for March 25.

Donald Trump’s legal troubles are gathering momentum, and this trial is of historic significance as the first criminal prosecution of a former U.S. president.

Manhattan State Court Judge Juan Merchan denied the former president’s motion to dismiss, paving the way for this historic trial. Trump was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

The charges assert that these acts were part of an elaborate scheme to conceal extramarital affairs.

The indictment claims that Trump made payments to Michael Cohen, his former lawyer. These payments were made to silence claims by Stormy and Karen McDougal that Trump had had an affair with them. Trump vehemently rejects these allegations. According to the indictment, payments to Daniels and McDougal were disguised as legal fees, including $130,000 for Daniels.

And that’s the real problem.

Falsifying business records is considered a Class E misdemeanor in New York and carries a maximum sentence of 4 years. If Trump is found guilty, given that this case was brought by the state, he will not be allowed to pardon himself in 2024 if he wins the presidential election.

Despite these legal problems, Donald Trump remains a serious contender for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election.

According to some of the polls, he is the favorite against President Joe Biden.

In many key states, Mr. Trump is tied with or ahead of Mr. Biden.

Judge Merchan’s decision to pursue the case comes at a time of intense activity for Mr. Trump. He claims that his opponents are trying to undermine his comeback by bringing charges against him.

From March 25, then, the jury selection process begins, while the world will closely follow the progress of this historic court case, marking a new chapter in American legal and political history.

But first, let’s see how the Trump clan fares against prosecutor Fani Willis in Georgia… but that’s another story.
