According to Japan's Asahi Shimbun reported on Wednesday, the Japanese government has been falsely reporting exaggerated construction order data for many years, which experts say may have caused the economic growth data to be inflated. After the scandal was exposed, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio admitted on the same day that since the beginning of 2020, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has been revising these false data.
