Japan’s Shinzo Abe Hints at Tax Delay With Warning of Global Crisis
安倍首相は世界経済危機についてG7首脳を説得することに失敗したが、金曜にまた自分で警告を発している。
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe failed this week to persuade the Group of Seven industrialized nations that
the world faced a possible economic crisis, and then went on to issue a warning himself on Friday.
彼の悲観的な見解は、金曜に彼が初めて可能性に言及した消費税増税延期に道筋をつけるのが目的であり、
延期の方針は何週間にもわたって指摘されていた。
His grim view served to open the door to another delay in a planned sales-tax increase in Japan, a
possibility he acknowledged for the first time Friday, though his advisers had said privately for weeks
that he was considering it.
