By Mariko OiBusiness reporter

Profits at the country's car Makers - including Toyota, Honda and Nissan - have been boosted in recent months as they saw increased demand for exports.
Japan's economy has also been helped by a rise in tourist numbers after the government lifted border restrictions at The End of April.
As of June, The Number of foreign visitors to Japan had recovered to More Than 70% of pre-pandemic levels, according to the country's national tourism authority.
Spending by tourists is also expected to give the country's economy an even bigger boost from this month After China lifted a ban on group travel.
Before the pandemic Chinese visitors accounted for More Than a third of tourist spending in Japan.
That is helping to offset the impact of the slowing recovery of consumption in the country itself after the pandemic.
" The main difficulty for Japan's Second Half is, however, that the domestic economy is cooling, " Mr Schulz said.
