– Japan's economic malaise shows no signs of abating. Regressive taxation, such as the sales tax increasing from 5% to 8% in 2015, is further stifling consumer spending. Concerns about the effect on the economy have led to a 10% rise being delayed until 2019. This has affected retail markets negatively.
