Which country will first have ZIRP(Zero Interest Rate Policy) in the year 2009??

Current forecast: Japan (29% chance)
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is Japan with a probability of 29% (unchanged in last 1 day)

Zirp is an acronym for zero per cent interest rates. It’s a term that’s starting to appear in mainstream bank notes, as well as financial blogs, and not just for localised countries, but globally.

Since this is a complex question. Suggestions are welcome.

What if it's implemented at the same time as part of, let's say, a G20 multilateral agreement?
