July 1 (Bloomberg) — Richard Jerram, chief Asia economist at Macquarie Securities Ltd. in Tokyo, talks with Bloomberg’s Linzie Janis about the outlook for Japan’s economy and the yen. Sentiment among Japan’s largest manufacturers rose to a two-year high, signaling Europe’s debt crisis has yet to undermine their confidence in the global recovery.
