The organization's buyer and business banking and solid capital sufficiency are its real strengths, even as home loan and commercial banking continue to be a territory of concern.

For a prolonged period of time, the Bank of Japan (BofJ) has implemented expansionary monetary policy tools in order to achieve price stability and economic growth. The inflation rate (CPI) target for the BofJ is currently 2%. The success of their monetary stimulus program has often been subject to the mercy of external market forces. The central bank has recently blamed Brexit for the failure of its monetary stimulus program, and extended economic ramifications. The banks quantitative easing (QE) & negative interest rates have failed to save the Japanese economy from stagnation. Global market uncertainty in light of Brexit instigated a rally for the Japanese Yen on the FOREX, leading to an appreciation of the Yen and the subsequent failure of the BofJ’s monetary stimulus. This report will identify the banks use of monetary policy before and after the Brexit vote. It was also try to establish whether market uncertainties caused by Brexit are solely to blame for the failure of the BofJ’s monetary stimulus program. Finally the report will assess whether other variables such as, low oil prices and a slowdown in emerging economies were to blame for the failure of the monetary stimulus package.

What first comes to mind when you think of Japan? Sushi? Volcanoes? Tsunamis? Many of the iconic parts of Japanese culture that we know today have been shaped by the environment around them over many years. Since ancient times, many of Japan’s geographical features have had major effects on its inhabitants. Their extensive water supply from rivers and ample rainfall have facilitated agriculture and made it an important part of the Japanese economy, along with fishing in Japan’s oceans. Its proximity to China has greatly influenced its culture, including its writing system, trade, and religion. The many mountains and active volcanoes located on the Japanese archipelago, as well as frequent natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, have made some aspects of Japanese lifestyle difficult, causing the people to adapt based on these factors.

The economy of Japan over the last few decades has had a series of highs and lows. Japan’s post-war growth, due mostly to extremely successful car and consumer electronics industries, was pretty much over by the 1990s. This, combined with the post-war Japanese baby boom and later on drop in fertility rates has led to a significant macroeconomic impacts. Demographic changes have heavily influenced savings, investment, and inward streaming revenue. Policymakers created key errors while struggling to swing the structure of their balance sheets. Economic growth in Japan has been predicted to reach 1.0% in 2017 before slowing down to 0.8% in 2018. At the moment fiscal consolidation (a policy aimed at reducing government deficits and debt accumulation) has stopped, which should aid Japan in dealing with the impact of the appreciating yen. Though there has been a decline in business investment, private consumption is still adding to economic growth. The real GDP (total value of all final goods and services produced within a country’s borders) of Japan has increased at a 1.6% annualized rate since the start of 2016 also in spite of yen appreciation.

Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan, has declared the new economic policy package that proposes a key role for aggressive monetary easing, expansionary fiscal policy and structural reforms; these three arrows are described with the term Abenomics. In this paper we discuss the backgrounds of Japan’s economy the factors which flourished it, the period of stagnation and its reasons, the factors driving to introduce Abenomics and the logic behind it. We tried to reconcile the reasons behind the weakening of yen against the dollar and rising of stock market since the policy was announced. This paper makes major points; perhaps the most evident

The supply side opinions for this situation explains: decrease in output growth (Saito 2000); reduced service area performance (Kay & Clark 2005); and a decreasing birth rate meaning an elderly labour force. The Demand Side arguments base their reasons on the external forces which lead to in an appreciation of the Japanese yen compared to the dollar and the resulting defective monetary policy, which lead to in deflation and the formation of a liquidity trick since the 1990s (Tyers 2012).

Hence, after discussing about four macroeconomic objectives above, here are the summaries of Japan current macroeconomic position and followed by its solution. However, there still going to be a conflict amongst these four objectives to be achieved simultaneously.

Like the rest of the world, Japan has in fact been experiencing inflation. The Bank of Japan increased its annual inflation rate to 1.8% from 1.1%. Japan will increase in consumer prices (goods and services) which should lead to higher company profits and wages, and domestic spending in the economy. Japan’s increase is mainly imported and increasing food and energy prices. Japan is an importer of goods and Japanese companies are not benefitting from this inflationary environment.

After its defeat in World War II, Japan recovered to become an economic power and an ally of the US. Japan, whose capital is Tokyo, maintains a parliamentary constitutional monarchy While the emperor retains his throne as a symbol of national unity, elected politicians hold actual decision-making power. The Prime Minister is usually the leader of the majority party in the House of Representatives, and the Prime Minister appoints a cabinet.

This essay will illustrate an analysis of the monetary policy of Japan and the impact of the global crisis of 2008-11 with the measures taken to recover from this crisis. The conduct and the effectiveness of a country’s monetary policy depend on the structure of its financial markets. According to Takatoshi Ito in Japan, governments have regulated the financial markets heavily. The Securities Transaction Law, article 65 creates barriers between banking and security dealings. Within the banking sector, regulations create barriers, there are mandated specialisations in Japan between trust baking and commercial banking, as well as between long-term, bond-financed banking and versatile, deposit-financed commercial banking. Ito (1992) states “ a government cannot efficiently manage monetary policy without thinking of influences from other countries and of the policy effects on other countries”.

Our economy is at the edge of abundance that seemed to be infinitely expandable. We have more facilities and capacities to produce than we had in the post-World War I and II. Every aspect of our lives is over-supplied, from the factories making cars, ships, steel, computers, and smart phones to the merchants selling coffee, clothing, and fast food. Like the post-World War II, without the oil crisis that reduced production or the petrodollar that artificially expanded aggregate demand, a possibility to face the Great Depression once again is very high. The only difference is our production scale is much larger than the post-World War I. If the economy collapses as we fail to resolve the fundamental problem of over supplying, it may collapses to the very bottom the mankind have never experienced of.

The principle factor that is causing the majority of the problems in the bank's home office and its respective branches is a surplus of autonomy. After reading Jack Nelson's bank study, it is apparent that the centralized authority within this organization (as represented by its home office) needs to be strengthened. Its situation is somewhat parallel to that of the United States just after the Revolutionary War when it adopted the Articles of Confederation which gave the states to much individual power. Significantly, this form of legislation was supplanted by the U.S. Constitution which, while attempting to preserve some states' rights, focused on a strong central government.
