Yet another sign that Japan's Lost Decades are over: SBI Shinsei has repaid public funds used to bail out its predecessor, the Long-Term Credit Bank, in the 1990s.

All 34 banks bailed out following the collapse of the bubble have now repaid in full.

So, a Japanese person drinking beside me in Hiroshima has, inexplicably, chosen the earthquake warning sound as her ringtone. She is being, gently, excoriated by everyone

Give this excellent podcast about Modi from @AChilkoti a listen. I think I make a guest appearance as "a colleague" at one point.

[Avantika Chilkoti @AChilkoti]

After 10 years in power, Modi has been humbled in national elections. How might he respond? Stories from his youth, his rise through the BJP & his early years as PM hold some clues. Join me for a new podcast @TheEconomist, The Modi Raj. Episode 1 live now: https://t.co/m8fthMFnLL

1.7 million electors in this Mumbai constituency and it was won by just 1 vote*. Never think your vote doesn’t count.
