It's been three years since prime minister Shinzo Abe took power with a promise to smash deflation and "take back Japan"... As economists at BNP Paribas highlight, real gross domestic product (GDP) has grown by just 2.2pc between the fourth quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of this year - or an average of just 0.8pc per year - a poor performance compared with its G7 peers.

This is the second time the target date has been moved since Mr Kuroda pledged in April 2013 to lift consumer inflation to 2pc in "around two years".
