Japan’s Nishimura: Have to reduce coronavirus infections otherwise negative impact on economy will continue

Japanese Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said on Tuesday, the coronavirus infections must be reduced, or else its negative impact on the economy will continue.

He thinks that private consumption is continuing to show signs of picking up.

His comments come after the Japanese government maintained the economic assessment in December while cutting its view on private consumption.
