Chapter Chapter Three in Winning in Asia, Japanese Style, 2002, pp 61-97 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Japanese banking sector is now going through major consolidation, reorganization, and restructuring on a scale unprecedented in its history, all against a background of an increasingly market-oriented policy environment and more deregulated and globalized financial markets. This process was set in motion and propelled along by the recent domestic and external shocks—that is, the asset disinflation at home that started in the early 1990s and led to the systemic banking crisis in 1997–1998, and the East Asian financial crisis that began in 1997 and deepened in 1998.
