Japan
Energy Profile
Japan boasts one of the largest economies in the world. The country continues to experience a moderate economic recovery that began in 2003, following a decade of economic stagnation. Japan’s real gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 2.5 percent in 2005 and 2.3 percent in 2004. The modest upturn over the last few years reflects higher business confidence in Japan, a surge in export demand led by exports to China, and robust consumer spending. Unemployment in Japan fell to 4.4 percent in 2005, down from an early 2003 peak of 5.5 percent.
