Japan: Make the sunrise
Japan knows what to do for himself on track, needs no advice from anyone, has all the resources human resources to identify and solve current problems. The Japanese know how to solve Japan and I have no doubt in his ability to things.
Those familiar with Japan, are indestructible faith in the ability of countries to get out of disasters, for example, the country still seems to shuffle their feet, but then snap into action to face a crisis. It was in the 19th century, the adoption of modern methods to avoid being colonized, and again after the Second World War. Japan was the second largest economy in 40 years. But the qualities that have made an economic power in the 20th century: the capital's business easy, great, great education, rigorous and effective management, and a stable job for life for male heads of household are fashionable in the 21st century. greatest obstacle in Japan today is in itself.
In the recent publication of the ranking of 100 countries with the best in the World Newsweek, Japan has placed a very impressive ninth place overall. Except in the category Health, who will undoubtedly Japan ranked first, which revolved around the position fourteen other categories such as education, economic vitality, quality of life and happiness.
Their resistance to change is now led to disappointment in this house once the economic power. Only a few weeks, when the media world buzzed with new China overtaking Japan as the second largest economy in the world, the general atmosphere Japan has been resignation and despair, it is understandable that the mood may take over a city once revered proudly for their achievements both enviable.
The disappointment and resignation is naturally expect after two decades to cope economic losses characterized by a long cycle of deflation, slow growth and aging of the population.
But we also remember that "faith without works is dead. Without dramatic reform, Japan has slipped quickly into the number four, five and beyond.
However, we still have a look at Japan to see if we can identify a new problem or hidden militate against efforts to revive the sick giant. For do this, we must look deep back in Japan through its remarkable history. From Tokugawa shogunate, the first and second of the Meiji Restoration, the era modern, major wars humbled an ambitious Japan and, after its rebirth as a center of world economic power and industrial, and finally to the current challenges Economic rampant.
Chronology of the United States:
Since 1854, when the Tokugawa shogunate opened the country to trade Western influence (Bakumatsu), Japan has experienced two periods of economic development. When the Tokugawa shogunate was overthrown and the government Meiji has been created, the westernization of Japan started to open. The first round was during the pre-war Japan, in the second, the During the post-war Japan.
In the Meiji period, Japan, under the visionary leadership, has opened a new education system West based on all young people who have sent thousands of students in the United States and Europe, and has hired more than 3,000 Westerners teach modern science, mathematics, technology and foreign languages in Japan (O-yatoi gaikokujin). The government also built railroads, improving roads, and inaugurated a program of land reform to prepare the country for further development.
In parallel with its objective of promoting rapid industrialization, the government has decided that if it is to help private companies to allocate resources and plan, the private sector can best stimulate economic growth. The major role of government is to help provide the economic conditions in which businesses can flourish. Essentially, the government of being the guide and the activity of producers.
Earlier Meiji period, the government built factories and shipyards that were sold to contractors at a fraction of its value. Many of these companies has increased rapidly in the larger conglomerates. Government emerged as chief promoter of private initiative, the promulgation of a series business-friendly policies.
The development of banking and the use of bank financing has been the focus of development Japanese economy, at least since the Meiji era.
In the mid-1930s, nominal wage rates were 10 times weaker Japanese United States (Based on rates of change in mid-1930), while the price level is estimated at approximately 44% United States

Oil crisis
Japan is facing a serious problem economy in the mid-1970s. The global oil crisis in 1973 shocked an economy that had become virtually dependent on foreign oil. Japan experienced its first decline in post-war industrial production, with severe price inflation. The recovery that followed the first crisis oil boosted the optimism of business leaders, but the maintenance of industrial growth in the face of high energy costs required changes in industrial structure.
The result after the oil crisis was to increase energy efficiency Industrial and expand knowledge industries calls. Industries expanded services in an economy increasingly post-industrial.
Structural economic changes, however, able to check the slowing economic growth as the economy matures in late 1970 and 1980, reaching annual growth rate of only 4-6%. However, these rates have been remarkable in a world of high oil prices and a nation of few remedies. average growth rate of 5% in Japan in the late 1980s, for example, was well above the 3.8% growth in U.S. rate.
Despite further increases in oil prices in 1979, the strength of the Japanese economy was evident. Extended without double-digit inflation that has affected other industrial countries (which had taken the trouble to Japan itself after the first oil crisis in 1973). Japan has experienced slower growth in the mid-1980s, but its economic boom sustained demand for the 1980 revived many industries crisis.
Growth factors
Complex economic and institutional factors influence the growth in postwar Japan. First, the experience of pre-war nation has provided several important legacies. The Tokugawa period (1600-1867) bequeathed a vital sector in the booming commercial centers, a relatively well-educated elite (albeit with limited knowledge of European science) government bureaucracy sophisticated, productive agriculture, a unified nation in close collaboration with highly developed financial systems and marketing, and a national road infrastructure. Accumulation industry during the Meiji period until the point of Japan could fight for world power was a prelude to significant growth after the war and provided a reservoir of labor force experienced after the Second World War.
Secondly, and most importantly, was the level and quality of investment, which persisted until 1980. Investment in capital goods, which averaged more than 11% of GDP during the period before the war, rose to approximately 20% of GDP during the 1950s and over 30% in late 1960 and 1970. During the economic boom of the late 1980s, the rate still hovered around 20%. Employers Japanese imported the latest technologies to develop the industrial base. As a newcomer to modernization, Japan has avoided some tentative principles necessary for other nations to develop industrial processes. In the 1970s and 1980s, Japan has improved its industrial base through technology licensing, acquisition of patents, and imitation and improvement of foreign inventions. In the years 1980, the industry has intensified its research and development, and many companies became famous for its innovation and creativity.
Japan's labor force has contributed significantly to economic growth, not only for their availability and literacy, but also by their wage demands. Before and immediately after the Second World War, the transfer of many agricultural workers to the industry Modern leads to increased productivity and moderate wage increases. As population growth slowed and the nation increasingly industrialized in the mid-1960s, wages have increased significantly. However, the trade union cooperation in general, increases in wages range of productivity gains.
productivity growth high played a key role in economic growth after the war. The workforce highly skilled and educated, special rates and savings levels of investment and accompanying low growth of the working population of Japan are important factors in the high rate of productivity growth.
The country has also benefited from economies of scale. Although small and medium businesses generate the bulk of employment in the nation, large plants are more productive. Many industrial companies consolidated into larger units more efficient. Before the Second World War, large companies have formed groups of property wealth, or zaibatsu, that dominated most of the industry. The zaibatsu were dissolved after the war, but the vast keiretsu, modern industrial enterprise groups to emerge. The coordination of activities within these groups and the integration of small entrepreneurs groups of industrial efficiency.
Circumstances beyond the control of Japan has contributed directly to its success. International conflicts tend to stimulate the Japanese economy to the devastation at the end of the Second World War. The Russo-Japanese War (1904-5) The First World War (1914-18), war (1950-53) and the second Indochina war (1954-1975) introduced economic boom in Japan. In addition, benign treatment in the United States after the Second World War has facilitated the reconstruction of the nation and growth.
1980
During the 1970s, Japan has the second largest in the world gross national product (GNP), just behind the United States, and occupied the first GNP largest industrialized countries in 1990 per capita U.S. $ 23,801, well above the U.S. $ 9.068 in 1980. After a slight decline in economy in the mid-1980s, the Japanese economy began a period of expansion in 1986 which continued until enters a recession period in 1992. The average economic growth of 5% between 1987 and 1989 boosted the industry such as steel and construction, which had been relatively inactive in the mid-1980s, and set wages and jobs. In 1992, however, the real GDP growth in Japan slowed to 1.7%. Even industries such as automotive and electronics that had experienced a phenomenal growth in the 1980s entered a recession in 1992. The Japanese auto market has contracted while domestic market share in Japan of United States refused. Foreign and domestic demand for Japanese electronic products has also declined, and Japan seems on track to lose its leadership the world semiconductor market in the U.S., Korea and Taiwan.
Search post-war Japanese technology has been performed for reasons of economic growth rather than military development. The growth of high technology industries in the years 1980 results of increased domestic demand for high technology products and better quality of life, housing, and environmental standards, improvement of facilities health, medical and social assistance, improvement of recreation, and better ways to adapt to an aging society quickly. This reliance on domestic consumption has also meant that consumption has increased by only 2.2% in 1991 and at the same rate again in 1992
During the 1980s, the Japanese economy has changed its focus from primary activities and secondary (mainly agriculture, manufacturing and mining) to development, telecommunications and computers more more vital. Information has become an important resource and the product in the center of wealth and power. The emergence of an economy based on information retrieval was performed by sophisticated technology such as computers advanced much. The sale and use of this information was to be very beneficial for the economy. Tokyo has become an important financial center, home to some of the largest banks the world, finance companies, insurance companies and the global exchange of stock, the Securities and Exchange Tokyo. Even here, however, recession has taken its toll. In 1992, the Nikkei 225 / 2 stock began the year at 23,000 points, but fell to 14,000 in mid-August, before stabilizing at 17,000 by the end of the year.
1989 Economic Bubble: Enter the decades lost.
In the decades following the Second World War, Japan tariffs and strict policies to encourage people to put their income. With more money in banks, loans and credit became more accessible, and with Japan's large trade surplus, the yen appreciated against foreign currencies. This has enabled local companies to invest in capital resources much more easily than their competitors abroad, which has reduced the prices of products manufactured in Japan and increased the trade surplus. And with the yen has appreciated financial assets are very lucrative.
With so much money available for investment, speculation was inevitable, especially in the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the housing market. The Nikkei stock reached its peak on December 29, 1989, when he hit a intraday high of 38,957.44 before closing at 38,915.87. The types of housing, stocks and bonds rose so much that at some point the government issued bonds for 100 years. In addition, banks lend more and more risky.
At the height of the bubble, property values have been very overvalued. Prices were higher in the Ginza district in Tokyo in 1989, with choice properties earning more than $ 1,500,000 per meter square ($ 139,000 per square foot). Prices were a little less in other areas in Tokyo. In 2004, the first "A" property in the business districts Tokyo and homes fell in Tokyo were a fraction of its peak, but he managed to appear as the most expensive real estate the world. Billions of dollars have been eliminated with the combined stocks in Tokyo and property markets fall.
With the economy Japan is fueled by high rates of reinvestment, this crash was particularly affected. The investments are increasingly directed more outside the country, and Japanese manufacturing firms has lost its technological edge. As Japanese products became less competitive abroad, is believed to lower consumption rate began to take on the economy, causing a deflationary spiral.
The easy credit that had to get helped create and engorge the real estate bubble is still a problem for many years to come, and as late as 1997, banks continue making loans that had a Low insurance reimbursement.
The time after the collapse bubble, which took place gradually rather than catastrophic, is known as the lost decade "or the end of the century" (Ushinawareta jūnen) in Japan. The Nikkei 225 ended at 7603.76 in back in April 2003 offers up a new high of 18,138 in June 2007, before returning a downward trend. The downward movement of the Nikkei is probably global and national economic problems.
problem Japan are of two types: a credit crunch has inadvertently intractable derail the Japanese economy and a workforce characterized a narrowing rapidly aging population, with a low birth rate is the corresponding ability to replace labor gray more difficult to achieve.
The central problem is that Japan suffers from a misallocation of financial resources Gross and humanities. Japan has maintained low-cost capital, stimulate investment and help enterprises in difficulty. Since the financial crisis began bureaucratic agencies, such as the Innovation Network Corporation (INC) of Japan and the company turnaround Initiative Corporation (ETIC) has allocated more of 25 billion dollars to revive sick companies. A good example of the misallocation of credit issued by ETIC was chosen to assist an operator Mobile phone operating archaic technology.
This can be described as the "selection natural "in Japan by the agencies or lenders responsibility to provide credit to companies that need funding. There are incentives to effect damaging to the credit of the appropriation sections superfluous in the industry. The system virtually guarantees that new capital will be the losers of the past years. And because the companies rarely die fighting, are not new. rate in Japan is half the bankruptcy of the United States, and the speed at which new businesses are created are only one third of the upper part. Japanese venture capital are few. bureaucratic allocation of Japan rarely credit pushes the animal spirits, but zombies races.
Practical Japanese banks to continue extending credit to low, even in bankruptcy. In the economy by focusing on the banks of Japan, where banks are often responsible for the company and control government, many lending decisions are strongly influenced by the duty to support companies with perceived problems, rather than an objective Assessment of credit risk, impartial, found in other developed economies. Policies and government regulations Banking in Japan actually encourage banks to keep credit to borrowers in difficulty, which is unofficially known as "credit to perpetuate."
Japanese companies funded banks to allow these companies to pay interest on outstanding loans, and avoid well or at least delay, the bankruptcy. This practice allows banks to have more healthy "mirage" look at balance sheets, banks reported fewer loans problem and make little provision for credit losses. The perpetuation of bank loans for servicing the debt has been widespread. With more likely that banks have increased lending to businesses that are financially fragile. With this widespread practice, banks have more interest in developing additional credit for firms in difficulty with outstanding loans and the banks also reported capital ratios risk-based approached their capital adequacy ratios required. What mattered most was the need to have a good appearance as actual practices and appropriate capital.
A second factor was business connections even more likely that banks extend credit. Third, banks controlled by the government were also more likely to increase loans to financially weak firms. Finally, the only companies that were not under pressure loans evergreen weaker companies have been unaffiliated, non-bank lenders. Evergreening loan clearly isolated in Japan many companies having problems with market forces may have prevented a contraction of bank credit as at the time, but has been aggravated by economic problems in promoting the allocation of an increasing proportion of bank lending to companies both use.
The relevant question any observer would be forced to ask is: there was no regulation or was there a regulation to ensure such practices, or there was an apparent lack of foresight of where these practices ultimately led to the Japanese economy?
Japan has its own banking regulator as it is undoubtedly practice. Forbearance bank had allowed banks to restructure the neglect of non-financial corporations.
Enter amakudari the "descent from heaven. "
The literal meaning of the term "descent from heaven" refers to the Shinto gods fall from heaven to earth. In modern usage, refers to the higher levels of public administration officials see themselves as gods, and earth is the private business sector.
The amakudari phenomenon partly explains the apparent weakness of the Japanese regulations and legislation for prevent the initial factors that led to the current economic difficulties faced by Japan. Amakudari is the institutionalized practice in Japan, where Japanese officials in positions deleted greater visibility in the public and private sectors. The practice is fundamentally corrupt and an obstacle to efforts to break the links between the private sector and the state that prevents economic and political reform.
Reform reform (dismantling amakudari)
The relationship between senior officials and former young colleagues, who have replaced promotes blind loyalty that you can get into the ranks of the Mafia. It is in the interest of Japan to break the blind loyalty between regulators and regulators, reform efforts should focus first institutional practices and cultural supports the largest and family economic crisis.
Amakudari and its variants (eg yokosuberi "slippage" withdraw their jobs in other government agencies) to remove completely. These practices have proven over time to promote ethical business risk. Regulations and regulators make the necessary changes to sound economic growth and livelihoods. Japan lacks both by those who descended from heaven. It is desirable that closing the gates of heaven before Japan is ultimately ruined by these angels. This is the first step that will ensure that others are silenced by experts and economists eventually be fully implemented without prejudice or interference has always sabotaged the opinion of these experts.
Seniority issues Gender and
Japanese society is based on a profound respect for seniority and age based. This has caused Japan to lose their ability make the most of your human capital. Despite the arrogance of literacy of its population, the cultural requirement of respect for this old Go to media promotion of the elderly, not the most skillful. young professionals with good ideas to refrain from speaking. Past Presidents are as chairmen or directors, making it difficult for the new head of its predecessor undo mistakes. A businessman climbing a big house Commerce said he warned his superiors to hide their point of view, if I wanted to go forward. Half of Japan's talent is wasted. Only 8% of managers are women, compared to 40% in America and China up to 20%. A manager of one of the largest conglomerates Tokyo, says that 70% of qualified job seekers are women, but less than 10% are employed as working conditions may require factory visits and mines, where they could sweat so unfeminine.
Japan is also very "racist" who holds one of the purest race in the world with very few marriages between races. Japan is not favorable to foreigners and migrants. This would lose the labor of cheap labor provided by migrants seeking a better life. On the other hand, has been relocated to other places that offer cheap labor market, then it could be exploited as cheap labor within its borders. The leaders grouse that young Japanese to avoid foreign service posts, including a foreign official, the ministry hopes that the Japanese diplomats prefer to stay at home.
In an attempt to start the Japanese economy to the Government of Japan gave an example of industrial policy books of antiquity. The Ministry of Commerce issued a new global growth strategy "to identify scores of dynamic sectors that need government assistance, the construction abroad to attract medical tourists and migrant workers. The report requested by hundreds of reform, reform in some very important cases. But the egg bureaucratic leaders responsible for the preparation of the report was quickly established more jobs Barely a month later. Leaving observers doubt the sincerity of government to implement the results of the reports.
This a clear example of how static and old changeophile "new doors of Japan. Japan knows what is best for him.
