Shares in Tokyo are on a winning streak, as investors are betting that Mr Abe's election victory is a mandate to continue economic reforms. Professor Richard Werner, from the University of Southampton, is a former economic adviser to the Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance in Tokyo. He tells the 麻豆社's Russell Padmore why there are doubts about the recovery of the Japanese economy. (Picture: Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Getty Images.)
