BBC World Service - World Business Report, Japan counts economic cost of earthquake

We ask what the recovery plan is and the cost of the damage

It's been three days since Japan was rocked by a large earthquake, and the economic damage is now being assessed.

It’s been a difficult few days for Japan. Hundreds of homes have been flattened, people remain trapped and some are struggling to access clean drinking water.

Meanwhile, the government is facing an expensive recovery in an area that had hoped for more tourists after years of pandemic gloom.

Sam Fenwick will find out how the earthquake is affecting the Japanese economy and will also discuss upcoming elections in Mexico.
