Description
Summary:Fiscal policy has been strongly expansionary for most of the past decade in Japan. The resulting strain on public finances has made stimulus policies more difficult to maintain. The stance of monetary policy has remained unchanged over the past year.

The paper discusses recent developments in the field of structural reform and deregulation in Japan.
