In Bloomberg’s ranking of the best countries to do business, “Japan rose four places to third, behind the U.S. and Hong Kong, which led for a second straight year, in an index based on six criteria including the degree of economic integration and readiness of the local consumer base. Japan’s advance coincides with a 14 percent slide in its currency against the dollar in the past year that has bolstered its export competitiveness.” Japan scored 75.6 behind the U.S. (77) and frontrunner Hong Kong (79.6).
