Japan must face need for change
Article Abstract:
The Japanese financial system has been seriously weakened by the fall in the markets, reflecting its inherently unstable nature. Japan has been successful through following a particular set of economic policies, and is now unable to make the changes necessary to reverse these policies. The domestic market remains highly regulated, and only a small range of manufactured products is exported.

Japanese turn envious eyes on the UK's Big Bang reforms
Article Abstract:
Plans for structural reform in Japan are mainly designed to create a basis for more rapid economic expansion. The country's tax and financial systems will be much more closely aligned with the Anglo-American models, and reform plans are closely modeled on London's Big Bang of Oct 1986. The Japanese economic system has traditionally been highly respected internationally, but it now seems that it will come to resemble much more closely that of the UK.
