  • Fiscal Sustainability of Japanese Prefectural Government Debt
    Open Journal of Social Sciences, 2015, 3, 88-92 Published Online August 2015 in SciRes. http://www.scirp.org/journal/jss http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/jss.2015.38009 Fiscal Sustainability of Japanese Prefectural Government Debt Rena Akamatsu, Kazuki Hiraga* School of Political Science and Economics, Tokai University, Kanagawa, Japan Email: *[email protected] Received 23 July 2015; accepted 15 August 2015; published 18 August 2015 Copyright © 2015 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract This paper investigates whether the Japanese local government debt is sustainable. We apply the fiscal stabilization rule that each local government improves their primary balance in the current year when they issue additional debt the previous year. We check it using panel data of the Japa- nese prefectural governments. We find that Japanese prefectural governments were not sustaina- ble across 1956-2007, though were sustainable across 1956-1989. Keywords Prefectural Government, Fiscal Sustainability, Fiscal Stabilization Rule 1. Introduction In Japan, as in other countries, the recession caused by the subprime loan crisis has reduced tax revenues and necessitated additional government expenditures. Meanwhile, debt crises in Greece, Ireland, and Portugal have focused on financial reform in the EU. Japan’s ratio of central and local government debt to GDP is relatively high compared to other OECD countries (Figure 1), and national financial reform has become a major debate in Japan. Furthermore, fiscal problems among municipalities and prefectures have been a topic of sustained discus- sion in Japan.

  • Dr M to Visit Japan July 17 (NST 14/07/1997)
    14/07/1997 Dr M to visit Japan July 17 PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad will be making a six-day working visit to Japan beginning July 17. This will be his third trip to Japan, the first of which was in January to promote the Multimedia Super Corridor and followed by an official visit in March. Wisma Putra, in a statement issued in Kuala Lumpur, said among the highlights of the working trip will be Dr Mahathir's visit of the Mitsuoka Motors Co Ltd's car manufacturing plant. He is expected to view the production line of Mitsuoka's sports car, Zero 1. Zero 1 is the sports car which earned the company its licence as Japan's newest carmaker. Its plant in the Toyama Prefecture in western Japan produces 99 units of the Zero 1 a year. The car, which looks like a racing car, was developed almost entirely by Mitsuoka's young research and development staff, although it uses an engine and transmission supplied by Mazda, a carmaker with widely-acclaimed engineering technology. Besides the Mitsuoka plant, Dr Mahathir is also scheduled to visit the Kurobe Kyokoku Railways Co Inc in Toyama City and the Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories Inc in Kibi Plateau City. Dr Mahathir is also expected to visit the Okayama Prefecture and meet its Governor Masahiro Ishii and Mr Katsumi Sasaki, the chairman of Okayama Keizai Doyukai and president of Sanyo Shimbun. Dr Mahathir is also expected to participate in a dialogue with selected Japanese business, academic and political leaders, followed by a reception in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Okayama Keizai Doyukai.

  • Political Exchange Program
    POLITICAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM POLITICAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM he promotion of closer working relations between Japan’s leaders and their overseas T counterparts through political exchange has long been a core element of JCIE’s activi- ties. The Political Exchange Program dates back to 1968, when the first U.S.-Japan Parliamentary Exchange brought eight Congressional members to Tokyo for an unprece- dented program of meetings and discussion sessions with leading Japanese political and social figures. In the ensuing years, JCIE broadened its programs, establishing additional exchanges for young political leaders from Japan and the United States (1973), for senior U.S. Congressional staff (1982), and for young Australian and Japanese political leaders (1991). To date, nearly 1,000 individual political leaders have taken part in one or more of these exchange programs. While the initial emphasis of these exchanges was generally on deepening mutual under- standing and building bilateral networks of leaders, dramatic changes in the international and domestic environment have encouraged JCIE to increasingly stress the objective of offering political leaders the opportunity for dialogue on common challenges. This evolution has been accompanied by a significant expansion in the role of Japanese politicians in policymaking that has made political exchange even more meaningful. Also, in response to the growing needs of political leaders for broader networks and new sources of information, JCIE has further expanded its programs to include frequent study meetings for Diet members with visiting foreign leaders and other experts. It has also increas- ingly involved political leaders in many of its study and dialogue projects, particularly the younger generation of Diet members and other politicians who are now gaining influence and who have limited experience with substantive international exchange and dialogue.

  • Malaysia to Step up Direct Business Links with Japanese Prefectures
    19 JUL 1997 LEAD Mahathir-Visit MALAYSIA TO STEP UP DIRECT BUSINESS LINKS WITH JAPANESE PREFECTURES By: Zainoor Sulaiman TOYAMA (Japan), July 19 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today Malaysia will further promote direct business links with Japanese prefectures. He said he would like to see more direct contacts and business engagements between the Malaysian private sector and their Japanese counterparts in the prefectures. In the past, such contacts and collaboration were only conducted with those at national level in Tokyo, he said in a brief speech at a lunch hosted by Toyama governor Yutaka Nakaoki, here. Present were the Malaysian ambassador to Japan, Tan Sri Mohamad Khatib Abdul Hamid, and local political and business leaders. Dr Mahathir said every prefecture in Japan was bigger than the whole of Malaysia, in terms of population and business activities. The prime minister, who is on a seven-day holiday-cum-working visit to Japan, flew here this morning to look into the Japanese motorcar industry and a hill resort railway service. Soon upon arrival the prime minister and his entourage, which included his sons Mirzan and Mokhzani, were taken on a tour of the Matsuoka car plant which specialises in producing classical and antique models using Nissan and Mazda car engines. Present was the Perodua managing director, Datuk Abdul Rahman Omar. The company's president Susumu Matsuoka briefed Dr Mahathir on the operations of his company which was established in 1968. The plant, which employs about 100 workers, produces 10 units of such cars a month with the price ranging from 1.5 million Yen (US$30,000) to 3.5 million Yen (US$70,000) Dr Mahathir later visited Kurobe Kyokoku Railway Ltd which runs the 20km hill railroad which covers 46 tunnels and 27 bridges.

    2006 Annual Report 2006 (Apr.2005 ! Mar.2006) (In the fiscal year 2005) !$--"&$ %,*( */, +,$-'#$). Teruo Ishige, President The National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (NIAS), which is the largest agricultural research institute of basic life science in Japan, was established on 1 April 2001 as an independent administrative institution of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries and a center for basic studies to develop innovative agricultural biotechnologies and new bioindustries. The Second Five-year Plan started on 1 April 2006. During the next five years, the Institute will advance the technologies developed in the First Five-year Plan. These include sequencing of the entire rice genome; sequencing of the silkworm genome and recombination of livestock and silkworm genes; and bioscience research that will help improve human nutrition and promote the creation of new bioindustries. In the Second Five-year Plan, the Institute will focus on: (1) improvement, diversity and utility of agrobiological resources - we will utilize resources that we have built up in the course of research on the genes of rice, silkworms, and pigs and will secure other genetic resources; (2) research on, and development of, innovative agricultural technologies using biological and genome information - we will study organisms with a view to their ability to adapt to their environments, differentiate, and interact with other organisms; and (3) research and development aimed at creating new biotechnology-based industries - we will develop biotechnologies to produce useful materials, such as silk-based products that can be used in everyday items and in medical practice. There is an urgent need to develop technologies in these three subject areas, because each of them is important and is expected to contribute greatly to society.
