Japanese Prime Minister Abe likens the current crisis to Lehman

The G7, which began this morning in Japan, saw emphasized by leaders committed fears about the emerging economies, while Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has made noise with the statement in which he likened the current situation to the financial crisis triggered by the Lehman bankruptcy in 2008.

"The G7 leaders share the idea that emerging economies are facing a difficult situation even though there are those who say that the current framework can not define 'crisis'," said the deputy head of the Cabinet Secretariat, Hiroshige Seko , speaking to reporters at the beginning of the two-day G7 in Ise-Shima.

Abe has ensured that in April next year will increase the VAT to 10% from 8%, as expected, unless you experience a financial crisis of meaning than that of Lehman or a significant natural disaster.
