... during the country's latest false dawn
Article Abstract:
The failing health of the Japanese banking industry reflects the lack of decisive and concrete strategies to salvage the market from its total demise. Despite a deadline set for Feb 15, 1999 for the submission of restructuring programs demanded by the Financial Restructuring Agency, banks continue to defy the order. This attitude can be attributed to the Japanese corporate culture which protects the status quo. However, banks' compliance with the agency's plans may still be not enough to finally revive the ailing bank industry.
