Description

This paper reviews the bank-firm relationships in Japan. The Japanese financial system, which gives banks a more prominent role than that of other countries, has been categorized as relationship-based. During the high-growth era from the early 1950s to the early 1970s, in particular, the main banks played an active role not only in providing external funds but also in monitoring client firms. Our research reveals the increasing diversity of the bank-firm relationships in Japan since the deregulation of the financial market in the 1980s and the banking crisis in the 1990s and early 2000s.
