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.
