According to the news, Japan’s economy is still weak because of all the reasons EXCEPT______.

Japan’s central bank kept its bleak view of the economy unchanged for the fourth straight month in a report Monday that said growth was hampered by weak domestic consumption and shaky exports. Feeble recovery in the U. S. and European economies plagued by tensions in the Middle East, limited Japan’s hopes for an export-led recovery. One bright spot was employment, with the number of new job offers showing a rising trend, the report said. But that was outweighed by an ongoing decline in wages. Japan has been battling a slowdown for more than a decade, and Monday’s report noted with concern the weakness of Japanese stock prices. Tokyo stocks have been hovering around 19-year lows.
