Royal Bank of Scotland Japan chief economist Junko Nishioka says that over the past two months, she has grown increasingly pessimistic. She sees Japan recording at least two years of negative growth, the first time that has happened since the property and banking bubbles burst in the late 1980s, leading to Japan...
