Japan's Deregulation

Voluntary acts for better world economy and better life for Japanese consumers

Q.

Japan's excessive regulations sometimes have been criticized as a kind of trade barrier. Does Japan go on to have these excessive regulations?

A.

Japan is committed to deregulation in order to revamp the Japanese economy, expand domestic demand and encourage imports.
