Japan's Lost Decade Policies for Economic Revival

Japan's weak economic performance over the past decade has had implications not only for its own people, but for the world economy more generally, given Japan's importance as a trading partner and supplier of capital. Therefore, it is essential that Japan unlocks its growth potential. The IMF has worked with the Japanese authorities to identify the policies needed to bring Japan's economy out of its decade-long slump. The papers contained in this book contribute 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.Callen, Tim is the author of 'Japan's Lost Decade Policies for Economic Revival' with ISBN 9781589061873 and ISBN 158906187X.
