Consumer spending returned to growth in Japan during 2017, reviving domestic demand for retail and wholesale services. The recovery was fuelled by improved economic conditions in the country, which benefitted from a 7% jump in exports due to expanding key markets overseas. Such a rise in economic activities also reduced the country’s already-low unemployment, leading to an additional boost in total consumer incomes in Japan.
