Procyclicality of Financial Systems in Asia: Strategies to Cope with High Public Debt and Population Aging

Kaizuka, Keimei; Krueger, Anne O.

This book examines how Japan should cope with fiscal challenges, as demands on the budget from an ageing society have necessitated the reigning in of public debt and the revamp of the pension and healthcare systems. It combines insights from academic research with the views of policymakers to distil key issues that need to inform public debate.
