Will Japan never learn?

Article Abstract:

The Japanese financial system is undergoing reforms and mergers and deregulation are having a major impact. The allocation of credit was hampered by the financial system, so there was a need for reform. The government has, however, become increasingly involved in lending, which is a retrograde development. There is a need to privatize banks owned by the state and to end the credit-guarantee program. The problems of the banking system arose from government intervention, and the mistake should not be repeated.
