The Japanese economy is extremely strong, occasionally perceived as miraculous, particularly in manufacturing. Combined with construction it is responsible for one third of national employment. The GDP is one of the highest in the world, not just in Asia. Japanese women do not normally work.
Japan has a tight government-industry cooperation, within the framework of a market economy.
Quite unique is the role of the central bank , commercial banks and industry. The bank of Japan is totally financed by the government, it lends to the commercial banks who in turn lend to industry. Thus the government has a direct in central role in money supply and is in constant consultation with industry. One notable characteristic of the economy is the working together of manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors in closely knit groups called keiretsu. Industry, the most important sector of the economy, is heavily dependent on imported raw materials and fuels.
