    Content: The macroeconomic policy in Japan in the 1990s swung from fiscal expansion to fiscal consolidation and conversely. The efforts to restore soundness of public finance culminated in the Fiscal Structural Reform Act of 1997, which articulated several fiscal targets in the medium-term perspective. The act was however suspended after only a year due to economic slowdown, which threatened politicians with the possibility that fiscal consolidation might deteriorate the Japanese economy further. During the past decade, a number of economic packages to stimulate the return of the economy to a self-sustaining growth path totalled over 130 trillion yen in terms of project cost base.2 However, the Japanese economy has not recovered. As a result, these discretionary fiscal policies made the fiscal balance dramatically worse and accumulated government debt to over 140% of GDP in 2002. The new government under Prime Minister J. Koizumi was formed in April 2001. The government put structural reforms at the top of the agenda and included the fiscal consolidation plan to achieve a primary balance surplus in the early 2010s. While Japan is moving into an ageing society more rapidly than other countries, there is increasing pressure to restore public finances over the medium term. However, downside risk in the Japanese economy has been increasing since the middle of 2002 mainly due to serious deflationary pressure. Halting deflation is urgent in the short term for restoring economic growth. Japan is thus faced with considerable difficulties in achieving both the short-term objective of economic recovery and the medium-term objective of fiscal consolidation. In addition, Japan is in the extraordinary situation where there has been little incentive to enforce fiscal consolidation because huge domestic savings can finance huge government deficit, keeping the coupon rate of a ten-year Japanese Government bond to less than 1%...

    Content: Japan experienced a major change of government in September 2009. It was a remarkable political event, because Japanese politics was dominated by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in almost all the years following the end of World War ll. The new coalition government led by the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) tried to overhaul and restructure public administration and policy making in order to strengthen political leadership. In particular, they wanted to reform budgetary institutions as they fully recognised the LDP governments' wasted public money that brought about huge fiscal deficits. They introduced new medium-term fiscal targets and planning, programme reviews, and tax expenditure report, and legislated laws to increase the rate of consumption tax from 5% to 10%. However their reforms were not successful as expected and ended in larger fiscal deficits. This paper analyses the economic and fiscal management of the DPJ Administration and why they couldn't succeed in reforming budgetary institutions

    Content: La politique macroéconomique du Japon a fluctué entre expansions et assainissements budgétaires pendant les années 90. Les efforts déployés pour rétablir l'équilibre des finances publiques ont culminé dans la Loi de 1997 sur la réforme structurelle des finances publiques, qui articulait plusieurs objectifs budgétaires dans une perspective à moyen terme. Cette loi a toutefois été suspendue un an seulement après son adoption en raison d'un ralentissement économique qui a fait craindre aux responsables politiques qu'un assainissement des finances publiques n'aggrave encore la situation économique du pays. Plusieurs programmes de relance économique adoptés en une dizaine d'années pour ramener l'économie sur le sentier d'une croissance autonome se sont élevés à un total supérieur à 130 000 milliards de yens sur la base du coût des projets envisagés2. L'économie japonaise ne s'est toutefois pas redressée ce qui fait que ces politiques budgétaires discrétionnaires ont considérablement aggravé le déséquilibre budgétaire et porté la dette publique à plus de 140 % du PIB en 2002...
