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. Since the complete
shutdown of Japan’s nuclear reactors after the earthquake and tsunami disaster
in 2011, Japan's industrial sector has become 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 four 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. A sales tax increase caused the economy to
contract during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2014. The economy has largely
recovered in the three years since the disaster, but reconstruction in the
Tohoku region has been uneven due to labor shortages. Prime Minister Shinzo ABE
has declared the economy his government's top priority; he has overturned his
predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear power plants and is pursuing an
economic revitalization agenda of fiscal stimulus, monetary easing, and
structural reform. Japan joined the Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations in
2013, a pact that would open Japan's economy to increased foreign competition
and create new export opportunities for Japanese businesses. Measured on a
purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan
in 2014 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 government will continue a longstanding debate on
restructuring the economy and reining in Japan's huge government debt, which
amounts to more than 240% of GDP. To help raise government revenue and reduce
public debt, Japan decided in 2013 to gradually increase the consumption tax to
a total of 10% by 2015, although the government in 2014 decided to postpone the
final phase of the increase until 2017 to give the economy time to recover from
the 2014 increase. Japan is making progress on ending deflation due to a weaker
yen and higher energy costs, but reliance on exports to drive growth and an
aging, shrinking population pose other major long-term challenges for the
economy.
