| | Economy of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Japan endured periods of recession around the turn of the millennium, exacerbated by recession in the United States, but from 2003 began to grow strongly again at 2.0% and this rate has held steady through 2004 and projected by a survey of economists through 2005. | | | Japan has few natural resources, and trade helps it earn the foreign exchange needed to purchase raw materials for its economy. | | | The privatization of Japan Post, the Japanese postal system which also runs insurance and deposit-taking businesses, is a major issue. |

| | Japan has also become a global leader in financial services, with some of the world's largest banks, but for many years after the collapse of the stock and real estate markets in the early 1990s many of Japan's banks were burdened with high numbers of nonperforming loans. | | | The Liberal and Japan Democratic parties merged in 1955 to become the Liberal Democratic party (LDP). | | | The financial industry was rocked by scandals, leading to a number of prosecutions and, in early 1998, the resignation of the finance minister and the governor of the Bank of Japan, the nation's central bank. |

| | The national budget for fiscal 1999 included a large increase in public project spending, and action, such as an increase in tax credits for new home purchases, wastaken to reduce taxes. | | | With the aim of creating a more efficient economy, the Japanese government currently is carrying out administrativereforms along with extensive deregulation of various sectors of the economy. | | | Beginning in February 1999, the Bank of Japan instituted a 0% short-term interest rate policy to ease the money supply, and in March the government poured 7.5 trillion yen in public funds into 15 major banks. |

| | The government should begin fiscal reform, but this does not mean reducing spending or increasing taxes. | | | Junichiro Koizumi, the exceptionally popular prime minister of Japan, has the foreboding task of fixing the economy. | | | The number of products in which Japan and China compete has been overstated; by some calculations, it is as little as one-fifth. |

| | JAPAN'S BUBBLE ECONOMY |
| | The Bank of Japan has admonished banks to recognize the size of their problems and to start creating loan-loss reserves, but the bank seemed to have adopted a strategy, as Wood says, of "keeping their fingers crossed." The land market in Japan is heavily influenced by tax rules. | | | The role of the banking rules in Japan concerning the inclusion of the value of stock shares in the capital is treated elsewhere. | | | The most powerful institution in Japan is, by a large margin, the Ministry of Finance (MOF). |

| | THE POST-BUBBLE ECONOMY OF JAPAN |
| | Japan generally has discounted the need to reform its financial system hoping that something will happen which will enable its financial institutions to grow themselves out from under the mountain of bad debts left over from the era of the bubble economy. | | | Recently one of the four largest brokerage firms in Japan, Yamaichi Securities, went bankrupt after Moody's downgraded its bonds and it was unable to obtain the short-term credit it needed to to continue business. | | | The sound banks such as the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi are setting aside loss reserves of billions of dollars and other such as the Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan are reducing outstanding credit. |

| | On Japan: The Confusing Economy |
| | Economists usually argue that what really matters for fiscal stimulus is the size of the government deficit rather than the choice between tax cuts or spending. | | | However, tax cuts would have increased income levels and spending broadly across the economy, whereas the public-works spending pumped demand mainly into one sector—construction. | | | Optimists argue that the fiscal stimulus and the zero-interest-rate policy of the past two years, coupled with corporate restructuring, is pushing the economy toward real recovery. |

| | Since in large companies management has been confident that many employees will still be with the company long into the future, a strong incentive is present to spend a substantial amount of time in education and training. | | | Due to government regulation, in Japan, there are fewer large stores and consequently, foreign goods available to consumers than in other comparable economies. | | | Now that Japan is moving toward high-tech and services industries, serious questions are being raised about the value of the seniority system. |

| | The economy, by far the biggest issue for most voters, is finally showing signs of revival, with growth estimated at 1.2% for this year - painfully slow by some standards but a turnaround from years of stagnation. | | | But for now it will remain the task of the ruling party to try and reform the economy - a task it has been struggling with for more than a decade. | | | Under pressure from Mr Koizumi's hard-line economics minister, Heizo Takenaka, the banks are at last cleaning up their stacks of bad debts, a factor which has been crippling investment for years. |

| | The models of Japanese politics and political economy offered by Samuels, Muramatsu-Krauss, Ramseyer and Rosenbluth, Johnson, Calder (Crisis and Compensation), Okimoto (Between MITI and the Market), Frank Schwartz (shingikai reading), Pharr (on civil society) and others all have implications for non-big business interests, and for marginal groups in Japanese society. | | | (1) Japan has had conservative, producer-oriented leadership over most of the past 50 years, and yet, by a number of measures, Japan’s social welfare provisions stack up not all that badly compared to those of a number of countries that have had strong social democratic parties and far stronger labor unions. | | | (3) A number of recent analysts have called lifetime employment the single, most important feature of Japan’s political economy that today is the principal obstacle to much-needed reforms in a wide range of sectors. |

| | Competition and the Development of the Internet in Japan |
| | By mid-2000, Yoshiko Motoyama estimated that Japan was two years behind the United States in the development of the Internet, but was expected to see convergence within the next couple of years [43]. | | | But calculated differently, by the spring of 2001, Japan as an economic region, had the second highest percentage of persons with Internet access in the industrialized world at 23 percent [30]. | | | In Japan, however, because local telephone calls cost money (unlike in North America) dial-up is expensive (the consumer must pay the Internet access cost and the local telephone toll). |
