[183]-189) and index. 330 8 $aAnnotation Japan's financial institutions and policy underwent remarkable change in the past decade. The country began the 1990's with a heavily regulated financial system managed by an unchallenged Ministry of Finance and ended the decade with a Big Bang financial market reform, a complete restructuring of its regulatory financial institutions, and an independent central bank. These reforms have taken place amid recession and rising unemployment, collapsing asset prices, a looming banking crisis, and the lowest interest rates in the industrial world. This book analyzes how the bank-dominated financial system--a key element of the oft-heralded "Japanese economic model"--Broke down in the 1990's and spawned sweeping reforms. It documents the sources of the Japanese economic stagnation of the 1990's, the causes of the financial crisis, the slow and initially limited policy response to banking problems, and the reform program that followed. It also evaluates the new financial structure and reforms at the Bank of Japan in light of the challenges facing the Japanese economy. These challenges range from conducting monetary policy in a zero-interest rate environment characterized by a "liquidity trap" to managing consolidation in the Japanese banking sector against the backdrop of increasing international competition. 606 $aFinance$zJapan 606 $aBanks and banking, Central$zJapan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFinance 615 0$aBanks and banking, Central 676 $a332.1/1/0952 700 $aCargill$b Thomas F$0115339 701 $aHutchison$b Michael M$0122526 701 $aIto?$b Takatoshi$f1950-$0116437 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449890303321 996 $aFinancial policy and central banking in Japan$91974780 997 $aUNINA
