japan - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
In the years following World War II, government-industry
cooperation, a strong work ethic, mastery of high technology, and a comparatively
small defense allocation (1% of GDP) helped Japan develop a technologically
advanced economy. Two notable characteristics of the post-war economy were the
close interlocking structures of manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors,
known as keiretsu, and the guarantee of lifetime employment for a substantial
portion of the urban labor force. Both features are now eroding under the dual
pressures of global competition and domestic demographic change. Japan's
industrial sector is heavily dependent on imported raw materials and fuels. A
small agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields
among the highest in the world. While self-sufficient in rice production, Japan
imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. For three decades, overall
real economic growth had been spectacular - a 10% average in the 1960s, a 5%
average in the 1970s, and a 4% average in the 1980s. Growth slowed markedly in
the 1990s, averaging just 1.7%, largely because of the after effects of inefficient
investment and an asset price bubble in the late 1980s that required a
protracted period of time for firms to reduce excess debt, capital, and labor.
Modest economic growth continued after 2000, but the economy has fallen into
recession three times since 2008. A sharp downturn in business investment and
global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed Japan into recession.
Government stimulus spending helped the economy recover in late 2009 and 2010,
but the economy contracted again in 2011 as the massive 9.0 magnitude
earthquake and the ensuing tsunami in March disrupted manufacturing. The
economy has largely recovered in the two years since the disaster, but
reconstruction in the Tohoku region has been uneven. Newly-elected Prime
Minister Shinzo ABE has declared the economy his government's top priority; he
has pledged to reconsider his predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear
power plants and is pursuing an economic revitalization agenda of fiscal
stimulus and regulatory reform and has said he will press the Bank of Japan to
loosen monetary policy. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that
adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2012 stood as the fourth-largest
economy in the world after second-place China, which surpassed Japan in 2001,
and third-place India, which edged out Japan in 2012. The new government will
continue a longstanding debate on restructuring the economy and reining in
Japan's huge government debt, which exceeds 200% of GDP. Persistent deflation,
reliance on exports to drive growth, and an aging and shrinking population are
other major long-term challenges for the economy.
