| Achoimre: | Japan's high corporate savings might be holding back growth. We focus on the causes and consequences of the current corporate behavior and suggest options for reform. In particular, Japan's weak corporate governance-as measured by available indexes-might be contributing to high cash holdings.

The main policy implication of our analysis is that comprehensive corporate governance reform should be a key component of Japan's growth strategy. |
