Therefore, it is essential that Japan unlock its growth potential. The IMF has worked with the Japanese authorities to identify the policies needed to bring Japan’s economy out of its recent slump. This book contributes to this ongoing debate, whose major topics include the need for an integrated policy strategy based on the decisive restructuring of the banking and corporate sectors, combined with macroeconomic policies designed to bring an end to deflation.BooksFiscal policyJapanMonetary policyJapanForeign exchange ratesJapanBanks and BankingimfMoney and Monetary PolicyimfPublic FinanceimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfDemographyimfLaborimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralimfEconomics of the ElderlyimfEconomics of the HandicappedimfNon-labor Market DiscriminationimfMonetary PolicyimfPrice LevelimfInflationimfDeflationimfNonwage Labor Costs and BenefitsimfPrivate PensionsimfFinanceimfMonetary economicsimfMacroeconomicsimfPopulation & demographyimfBankingimfPensionsimfAgingimfInflation targetingimfBank creditimfPopulation and demographicsimfLoansimfFinancial institutionsimfMonetary policyimfMoneyimfNonperforming loansimfBanks and bankingimfPopulation agingimfCreditimfJapanEconomic policy1989-JapanimfFiscal policyMonetary policyForeign exchange ratesBanks and BankingMoney and Monetary PolicyPublic FinanceIndustries: Financial ServicesDemographyLaborBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralEconomics of the ElderlyEconomics of the HandicappedNon-labor Market DiscriminationMonetary PolicyPrice LevelInflationDeflationNonwage Labor Costs and BenefitsPrivate PensionsFinanceMonetary economicsMacroeconomicsPopulation & demographyBankingPensionsAgingInflation targetingBank creditPopulation and demographicsLoansFinancial institutionsMonetary policyMoneyNonperforming loansBanks and bankingPopulation agingCreditCallen Tim1489575Ostry Jonathan1436213DcWaIMFBOOK9910780752303321Japan's Lost Decade3710318UNINA
