THE JAPANESE YEN

Monetary and Fiscal Policy

Unlike most other industrialized economies Fiscal and Monetary polices in Japan are slightly more entwined than that of the US or to an extreme the Eurozone. This is a direct result of the relatively new independence of the Bank of Japan from the Ministry of Finance and the Governmental reorganization of 2000.
