    Volume 3 Issue 1 April 20 2011 What All Should Know About the Japan Crisis By Ciara Jacques Everyone has heard a myriad of information surrounding the crisis in Japan, but it’s hard to get a straightforward idea of what exactly happened, and if it can be resolved. How much damage was there? The tragedy started when a 9.0 magnitude earthquake occurred off the east coast of Honshu, Japan. The last time an earthquake of that magnitude occurred, it was in 2004 in Sumatra, Indonesia. This earthquake in Japan subsequently caused a tsunami, which damaged a 420-mile long stretch of coastal cities across the northeast coast of Honshu (that’s about the distance from Boston, MA to Baltimore, Maryland). Based on a fi eld survey from the country’s Port and Airport Reasearch Institute, it struck one coastal city at 77.4 feet high, and swept away the entire towns Tsunami Caused Unanticipated Damage in Japan of Kuji and Öfunato. www.boston.com The Japanese government has reported an estimated $310 billion The following tsunami destroyed the “operable fans and fi lters to control The opening allowed radioactive worth of damages, while Japan’s death back-up generators, so the nuclear this dangerous mixture,” he says, iodine-131 to spill out and toll now surpasses 12,000, and almost reactors lost all power. “most, if not all, of this dangerous contaminate much of the surrounding 15,500 people are missing.

    BIISS JOURNAL, VOL. 32, NO. 2, APRIL 2011: 168-205 M. Emdadul Haq Sultan Mohammed Zakaria TRADE POLICY REFORMS: BANGLADESH’S EXPERIENCE. ==================================================== Abstract Bangladesh deliberately pursued protectionist economic and trade policy in its early years. However, the country changed the direction shortly after the abrupt political changes during the mid-seventies and followed the course of reforms in the subsequent years. Although the icebreaking was quite slow, the reform processes accelerated in the early nineties that resulted in many important policy changes. Since then, Bangladesh put its best efforts to go with the pace of globalisation and moved rapidly to dismantle the earlier protectionist image of the country. The paper mainly focuses on how Bangladesh persistently adopted the reform measures in its trade policy and gradually approached towards the liberalising process through making adjustment to relevant policies and other agendas. It illustrates the changes made to some key trade policy areas, including import and export regimes, exchange rate policy, industrial policy, monetary and fiscal policies, etc. 1. Introduction Economic theory suggests that the primary impact of trade liberalisation will be on the overall level of trade, with a roughly parallel increase in exports and imports as a percentage of GDP. This is likely to require a modest depreciation of the real exchange rate in order to ensure that exports increase as much as imports, and leave the balance of trade unchanged. The export increase is likely to be concentrated in a relatively narrow range of products, products which use intensively the country’s abundant factor of production (unskilled labour in the case of Bangladesh), while the import growth is expected to be much more diversified and more capital intensive.
