Interest Rate Policy Of The Bank of Japan : 12
pages in
length. Until the 1980s, the Bank of Japan had an active
role in implementing government-directed fiscal policy, but
as the economy stabilized and seemed to be completely
self-sustaining, regulatory influences were increasingly
withdrawn. Today, the Bank of Japan is charged mainly
with establishing and maintaining interest rates. In that
respect, it is comparable to our Federal Reserve. Years of
questionable business finance practices have been catching
up to Japan faster than Japan can catch up to the
consequences. The Bank of Japans role has been to keep
interest rates artificially low in an attempt to aid
commercial banks on the verge of failure, but those interest
rates being at such low levels is having other and
far-reaching implications for the Japanese economy.

Economic Crisis : Japan's economic system is an
amalgam of business, political and cultural preferences and
policies. The Japanese model of economic development
differs significantly from it's counterparts in the West. Up
until a few years ago it was deemed as a success and many
countries were on the road to emulate it's unique blend of
politics and business, particularly its reliance on deliberate
government intervention to guide the economy. This 6
page paper examines the Japanese model of political and
economic symbiosis and argues that the cultural bias
toward belief in government correctness has added to the
current crisis. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Jpcrisi2.wps
Japans Banking Crisis / Fuji Bank : 8 pages
in length.
The Japanese banking system is too much like that of the
US in the early 1930s, and years of questionable financing
decisions have finally caught up with many of them. That
catching up was well under way before the Asian currency
crisis, but that same crisis brought things to the point that
they could no longer be ignored. Fuji Bank is one of
Japans larger banks, but they have not made poor business
decisions in the volume of some of their competitors. Fuji
Bank has good prospects for as painless a recovery as
possible. Bibliography lists 8 sources. JapBank.wps
