Masaaki Kanno Growth Quotations

We can expect a good 3 percent growth in calendar 2006.

The strength of domestic demand seems real. I believe Japan will achieve roughly three percent growth this year.

Japan will maintain growth driven by demand at home, particularly by solid consumer spending, as the labor market is becoming tight, propping up wages and household incomes. Upward pressure on prices will intensify next fiscal year, when the employment situation will become much tighter.
