Japan: Economic growth competiveness index

The Growth Competitiveness Index (GCI), aims to quantify the quality of the macroeconomic environment, the state of a country’s public institutions, and its level of technological readiness.

Higher competitiveness scores are more desirable:

• Very High – 5.51 to 7
• High – 4.51 to 5.50
• Moderate – 3.51 to 4.50
• Low - 3.01 to 3.50
• Very Low – 0 to 3.00

Japan does not publish official house price statistics, so land prices are taken as a proxy. Land price statistics are available from the Japan Real Estate Institute (JREI), as well as rent index. For a summary of Japan’s economic and real estate trends, see monthly JREI reports. Japan’s Statistics Bureau and the Bank of Japan have good collections of general economics data.
