  • Japan and the Asian Financial Crisis: the Role of Financial Supervision in Restoring Growth
    Japan and the Asian Financial Crisis: The Role of Financial Supervision in Restoring Growth Takatoshi Ito Institute of Economic Research Hitotsubashi University Working Paper Series Vol.99-10 July 1999 The views expressed in this publication are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the Institute. No part of this article may be used reproduced in any manner whatsoever without written permission except in the case of brief quotations embodied in articles and reviews. For information, please write to the Centre. The International Centre for the Study of East Asian Development, Kitakyushu Japan and the Asian Financial Crisis: The Role of Financial Supervision in Restoring Growth Takatoshi Ito Summary The crises of the Japanese and Asian economies in 1997-98 are reflection of the regional interdependence. One of the factors contributing to the baht devaluation of July 2, 1997 was yen depreciation vis-à-vis the US dollar in 1995-1997. The weak Japanese economy and the Asian economies mutually reinforced each other in the fall of 1997. Both Japan and many Asian countries suffer from structural weakness in the banking system. Japanese banks are beset with nonperforming loans due to a sharp decline in land prices, and many Asian banks are burdened by excessive borrowing from abroad or nonperforming loans due to sharp currency depreciation. Japan and Asian countries did not have a legal framework to close insolvent banks before the crisis, which contributed to a protracted resolution of the problem. The current downturn of the Japanese economy was triggered by the tax hike of April 1997.

  • “Interventions and Japanese Economic Recovery” Takatoshi Ito* Graduate School of Economics, University of Tokyo
    YenMacro(Michigan2004)v1 “Interventions and Japanese Economic Recovery” Takatoshi Ito* Graduate School of Economics, University of Tokyo 1. Introduction The Japanese monetary authorities (the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan) intervened in the yen/dollar market, selling 35 trillion yen, during the 15-month period from January 2003 to March 2004. The size of interventions were unusually large, reaching 7 percent of GDP, and exceeding the total amount of interventions during the 11-year period from April 1991 to December 2002. Why did the Japanese authorities intervene with such a large amount? This paper attempts to explain possible reasons and objectives behind interventions conducted by the Japanese monetary authorities in 2003 and 2004, and to discuss whether interventions achieved presumed objectives, flexible but rational foreign exchange markets and economic recovery. In the discussion of interventions, it is necessary to pay a significant attention to macroeconomic conditions, as decisions of interventions should be explained in the context of macroeconomic conditions at the time. When the 15-month episode of interventions started in January 2003, the Japanese economy was in a very weak condition. Several major banks were regarded in the market to be near-insolvent if proper accounting and evaluation of assets were applied.1 Deflation was worsening and the growth rate was very low. The stock prices were declining sharply. The start of intervention in January 2003 was to keep the yen from appreciating in the midst of financial and macroeconomic weakness. The stock prices continued to go down until April, and the economy looked quite fragile in the spring.

  • Use of Insolvency Proceedings for Systemically Important Financial Institutions
    INTERNATIONAL INSOLVENCY INSTITUTE Twelfth Annual International Insolvency Conference Supreme Court of France Paris, France SHOWCASE PRESENTATION: PLANNING FOR FAILURE: USE OF INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS FOR SYSTEMICALLY IMPORTANT FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS Overview Of The Japanese Legal Framework To Resolve A Systemically Important Financial Institution In Insolvency Proceedings In Japan By Hideyuki Sakai Bingham McCutchen Murase Sakai Mimura Tokyo June 21-22, 2012 ©International Insolvency Institute 2012. All rights reserved. Admin*1656557.1 OVERVIEW OF THE JAPANESE LEGAL FRAMEWORK TO RESOLVE A SYSTEMICALLY IMPORTANT FINANCIAL INSTITUTION IN INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS IN JAPAN May 28, 2012 Hideyuki Sakai [email protected] Tokyo Tel: +81-3-6721-3131 (Direct) Introduction This article is intended to provide an overview of the Japanese legal framework within which the resolution of a systemically important financial institution would occur in Japan. While Japan has a well-established scheme of insolvency laws, there have been few insolvencies of Japanese regulated financial institutions in the past decade. In addition, Japanese courts have considerable latitude in administering insolvency proceedings and rendering decisions. The combination of these factors makes it difficult to predict with certainty the mechanisms for implementing a proposed resolution. International Context Japan is a member of the Group of Twenty (“G20”) and the Financial Stability Board (“FSB”). As such, Japan’s leaders have committed to pursue financial stability, implement international financial standards and undergo periodic peer reviews.1 On November 4, 2011, three Japanese financial institutions were named in the initial group of twenty-nine globally systemically important financial institutions (“G-SIFIs”) identified by the FSB and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“BCBS”).

The Currency Composition of International Reserves in the Long Run* Barry Eichengreen University of California, Berkeley Livia Chiţu European Central Bank and Paris School of Economics Arnaud Mehl European Central Bank October 2014 Abstract We analyze how the role of different national currencies as international reserves was affected by the shift from fixed to flexible exchange rates. We extend data on the currency composition of foreign reserves backward and forward to investigate whether there was a shift in the determinants of the currency composition of international reserves around the breakdown of Bretton Woods. We find that inertia and policy-credibility effects in international reserve currency choice have become stronger post-Bretton Woods, while network effects appear to have weakened. We show that negative policy interventions designed to discourage international use of a currency have been more effective than positive interventions to encourage its use. These findings speak to the prospects of currencies like the euro and the renminbi seeking to acquire international reserve status and others like the U.S. dollar seeking to preserve it.

  • Who Is Yoshihide Suga, Japan's Next Prime Minister?
    THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION THE CURRENT: Who is Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s next prime minister? Tuesday, September 15, 2020 Host: Adrianna Pita, Office of Communications, Brookings Guest: Mireya Solís, Senior Fellow and Director, Center for East Asia Policy Studies, Philip Knight Chair in Japan Studies, Brookings (MUSIC) PITA: You’re listening to The Current, part of the Brookings Podcast Network. I’m your host, Adrianna Pita. After last month’s surprise resignation of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party has elected its Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga, into leadership, all but assuring he will become the next prime minister following a parliamentary vote on Wednesday. With us again with some insight into what to expect from Mr. Suga’s leadership is Mireya Solis, director of our Center for East Asia Policy Studies and the Philip Knight Chair in Japan studies. Mireya, thanks for talking to us again. SOLÍS: It's wonderful to be here. Thank you, Adrianna. PITA: So, who is Mr. Suga, and what do we know about him? SOLÍS: Well, he has an interesting biography. I think I would start first by pointing out that he is a self-made man. It's a very important characteristic of Japan that political lineage matters a great deal. It is very common to have second-generation politicians who inherit the family name. That is not the case for Mr. Suga. He comes from Akita prefecture, rural Japan. His father had a strawberry farm and therefore he started in the political world without any connections, without any advantages, and he now has risen to the top.
