Comments from the Japanese finance minister:
- Japan a step away from overcoming deflation thanks to abenomics
- Japan's economy expected to recover moderately in coming quarters after contraction blamed on short-term factors like bad weather
- Well-calibrated policy management, smoother communication with markets essential to mitigate uncertainty
- Financial market volatility rising amid concern over China slowdown, uncertainty over macroeconomic policies in advanced economies
They're blaming bad weather, how cute.
