Economic history

Some of the structural features for japans economic growth developed in the Edo
period, such as the network of transtort routes, by road and water and the futures
contracts , banking and insurance of the Osaka rice brokers. During period from
1868, japan expanded economically with the embrace of the market economy. Many
of todays enterprise were founded at tha time, and japan emerged as the most
developed nation in asia. The period of overall real economic growth from the 1960s
to the 1980s has been called the Japanese post-war economic miracle. It averaged
7.5% in the 1960s nad 1970s and 3.2% in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Growth slowed markedly in the 1990s during what the Japanese call the lost
decade, largely because of the after effects of the domestic policies intended to
wring speculative excesses from the stock and real estate market. Government
efforts to revive economic growth met with little succeses and were further
hampered by the global slowdown in 2000. The economy showed strong signs of
recovery after 2005, GDP growth for that year was 2.8%, surpassing the growth
rates of the US and European Union during same period.

As of 2012, japan is the 3rd largest national economy in the world, after the
United States and china, in terms of nominal GDP .
The fourth national economy in the world in terms of purchasing power parity.
As of December 2013 japans public debt was more than 200% of its annual
gross domestic product , the 2nd largest in the world.
