All hands to the Japanese pump
Article Abstract:
The Japanese economy has benefited from a depreceiation of the Japanese yen, which has helped boost share prices. The economy has been affected by the high value of the Japanese yen which has affected growth of gross domestic product and threatened to deflate the economy further through depressing prices for shares and real estate. The financial system is still under threat and real estate prices may have to be strengthened by the government in order to protect banks with their bad debt problems.

Japan: the sun also rises
Article Abstract:
The Japanese economy appears to be undergoing a recovery aided by a rise in public spending, a drop in the value of the Japanese yen and cuts in interest rates. A major rescue package has been developed following concern over signs of deflation in summer 1995. Japanese bank lending has begun to rise and corporate profits are recovering, aided by a drop in the value of the yen. It is not clear whether growth will reach previous levels of 4% annually.

There was a decline in industrial output in January although this was less than expected. Japanese government bonds are supported by equity weakness, yen strength and the sustained economic recovery.
