Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe defended Wednesday his government's policies, saying it helped Japan out of deflation.

Addressing the House of Councillors, the Prime Minister said that Japan's economy has been struggling with a lack of growth for 20 years before he introduced Abenomics.

He told the house that he plans to introduce a budget that will help increase local demand and investment in the country. He stressed that Abenomics will succeed in bringing back growth and inflation to the country.
