Abstract:
The breakdown of financial assets held by Japan's households shows that the ratio of safe assets, such as deposits, has been around 60 percent since the middle of the 1970s, while that of risky assets, such as stocks, increased temporarily to above 20 percent at the end of "bubble" era. It, however, has been substantially below 10 percent level since the middle of 1990s.
