2012 This year was a positive year for Japan if you can see it in the graph it is a green indication

which
basically means good year for Japan as there are a lot investments made it is the upswing on the other
hand the yen is affected due to export sector and the deflation pressure makes it the downswing of this
year.

2013 - Out of a ten year stretch this was the peak of Japanese economy with a growth of 2.01% the
reason why it is Japan’s peak year is because of governments way of monetizing things, government’s
way of spending the funds and the structural reforms that leads to a lot of country to invest in, and
those are the upswing on why it was Japan’s peak. On the other hand their population is declining due
to old age and not reproducting, as time goes by their debt is also rising, and lastly their persistency on
deflationary pressures as they are having a hard time coping up with it and those are the downswing of
this year.

2014 – This year was a slump for Japan due to the fact that they are recovering from what happened
back in 2011 as you can see on the table their GDP decreases, their capita decreases and what makes it
astonishing is the growth that really declined. The downswing in this year for Japan are consumers way
of spending which is decreasing and the investments made were also less and lastly their tax increased
which took place on this year. The upswing for this on the other hand is that they are aiming to increase
the supply of money at the same time boost the inflation.

2015 – Based on this year of Japan they bounced back from having a growth of just .30% up to a
staggering 1.56% which is a positive sign for Japan but their GDP and Capita decreased which is not a
good sign for Japan with their GDP at $4,444,93B and their Capita which is $34,961. Their downswing on
this part are weak domestic consumption, sluggish or slow process of exports, and a decline of business
investment which can really weaken an economy of a country. Their upswing on the other hand is their
growth which they totally made a change or a positive change as long as there is a growth in a country
there will always be someone who will take over some things in the future.

2016 – This year might be slow start in Japan but in about a quarter they bounced back as fast as they
can at the same time they made a statement about it. The upswing of this year is that their GDP and
their Per Capita increased by a large number with their GDP at $5,003,68B and their Per Capita at
#39,375 which is a big rise in terms of their economy. Their downswing on this year is the growth rate
which decreased by a number from last year’s 1.56% and this year is 0.75%.

2017 – This year based on what we can see is Japan’s holding of their economy with a small amount of
GDP decreasing and also their Per Capita with their GDP at $4,930.84B and their Per Capita $38,834, but
that makes it great is their growth with a massive comeback from 0.75% up to 1.68% and that’s a lot
from a country like Japan. Their upswing on this is how they maintained their economy by not
decreasing it by a lot at the same time their growth made a comeback with a staggering amount. The
downswing by this year is that even if you maintain your economy as long as it is decreasing there is
some problems by the government in handling such ways.

2018 - In terms of economy Japan has maintained it but in a way that the economy is added by a
number with $5,037.84B which is a positive remarks and also their per capita is close to 2013 with
$39,727 now we go to their growth which decreased a lot by 0.58%. Their upswing on this year is that
their economy continues to maintain or even rise above it and their per capita is rising but the down
string is that they are having a hard time in their growth percentage which is not a good sign for a rising
country.

2019 – Economy wise in this year for Japan it is a rising and progressing part but their growth is what
they should be worried because from 0.58% by last year, this year is one of the most downfall of Japan’s
growth with a negative remarks at -0.24% which is not a good sign. Upswing on this year is that they
have their economy steady or rising and the down swing is their growth which can severely damage a
country in the future.

2020 – Economy wise Japan has been consistent in terms of their GDP and their per capita but this will
be the darkest growth percentage in a ten year stretch with a negative remarks and -4.51% Japan really
is having a hard time in terms of their growth percentage which is not a good sign for them. The upswing
in this year for Japan is their economy has been consistent GDP and per capita wise but the down swing
in this year is their growth which is the most negative rating out of a ten year stretch with -4.51%.

2021 – This year Japan has made a statement to make all things be positive on a ten year stretch as we
can see their economy, GDP and per capita wise with their GDP at $4,940.88B and their per capita at
$39,313. Their growth is what makes it great because from a negative remarks they turned it around to
positive in just a year so it is really a country with resolve. The upswing in this year for Japan is that in
terms GDP, Per Capita and Growth percentage all of it are positive and if those three are positive then
you can totally say that it is as perfect as it gets as time goes by if they can manage to consistently do it
or even do more from it. The downswing of this is that GDP and per capita wise it has decreased by a
small amount of number which still is not a good sign as long as there is a decrease in number then it
will be considered as downswing.
