Abstract:
This book is based on a collaborative project sponsored by the World Bank. Its purpose is to describe, analyse, and evaluate the Japanese main bank system, and examine its relevance as a model for developing market economies and transforming social economies. It is divided into two parts: Part I, The Japanese Main Bank System, presents ten chapters that explore the development, functions, relationships and regulation of the main bank system; and Part II, The Comparative Context: Relevance for Developing and Transforming Economics, contains seven chapters that compare the Japanese main bank system with that of other Germany, Mexico, India, China, and Poland.
