V. Kistanov. Japan’s Economy: the Strongest Crisis in Postwar Years
The world financial crisis hit the Japanese economy harder than other developed countries. Unlike the “lost decade” of the 1990-s, which symbolized the collapse of the “bubble economy”, today’s recession was evoked by the strongest drop in demand for Japanese cars and electronics in the European and US markets. The recession may turn out to be the deepest and the longest one in the postwar history.
Key words: financial crisis, Japanese economy, deflation, “bubble economy”, export, import, budget.
