Japanification would imply Stagnation and outright Deflation

 How realistic is a deflation scenario in the industrialized countries, the Japanification?

Nouriel Roubini : Japanification would imply stagnation and outright deflation. As long as growth remains below trend, inflation is going to be low, but I don’t see the risk of outright deflation with exception of some countries of the Euro periphery: As long as Germany is not willing to reflate, internal devaluation is forced upon the periphery. It would be better if Germany allowed inflation to go beyond 2%. - in fuw.ch
