AS the Nikkei 225 stock index broke briefly through the 20,000 barrier for the first time in 15 years on Friday - though it retreated thereafter - Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Akira Amari suggested that a "small bubble" in stock prices was a welcome development.
Saying that such a bubble was containable, he said: "If recent stock gains are signs of a mini bubble, this is something I would welcome."
