MARKET OF THE MONTH: JAPAN

Japan

Japan Now! Not only is Japan the second largest economy in the world, market deregulation has resulted to a more open Japanese economy. The country boasts of having the second-highest purchasing power and consumption levels in the world, efficient and state-of-the-art transport and communication systems, and being Asia's trendsetter. Through the June 2001 "Economic Partnership for Growth", launched by President Bush and Prime Minister Koizumi, the U.S. and Japanese governments continue to exchange reform recommendations on key sectors every fall. Now more than ever, Japan deserves a second look.
