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 ratesJapanAgingimfBank creditimfBankingimfBanks and BankingimfBanks and bankingimfBanksimfCreditimfDeflationimfDemographyimfDepository InstitutionsimfEconomics of the ElderlyimfEconomics of the HandicappedimfFinanceimfFinancial institutionsimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfInflation targetingimfInflationimfLaborimfLoansimfMacroeconomicsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMonetary economicsimfMonetary PolicyimfMonetary policyimfMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralimfMoney and Monetary PolicyimfMoneyimfMortgagesimfNon-labor Market DiscriminationimfNonperforming loansimfNonwage Labor Costs and BenefitsimfPensionsimfPopulation & demographyimfPopulation agingimfPopulation and demographicsimfPrice LevelimfPrivate PensionsimfPublic FinanceimfJapanEconomic policy1989-JapanimfFiscal policyMonetary policyForeign exchange ratesAgingBank creditBankingBanks and BankingBanks and bankingBanksCreditDeflationDemographyDepository InstitutionsEconomics of the ElderlyEconomics of the HandicappedFinanceFinancial institutionsIndustries: Financial ServicesInflation targetingInflationLaborLoansMacroeconomicsMicro Finance InstitutionsMonetary economicsMonetary PolicyMonetary policyMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralMoney and Monetary PolicyMoneyMortgagesNon-labor Market DiscriminationNonperforming loansNonwage Labor Costs and BenefitsPensionsPopulation & demographyPopulation agingPopulation and demographicsPrice LevelPrivate PensionsPublic FinanceCallen Tim1630689Ostry Jonathan1436213DcWaIMFBOOK9910809717803321Japan's Lost Decade4239413UNINA
