The plan for privatization did not proceed smoothly, and after having been subject to a variety of external factors it continues today. In 2009, the Democratic Party of Japan took power and halted the IPO for Japan Post companies. In 2012, the administration went further in blunting some aspects of privatization, allowing the government to maintain indefinite control over Japan Post Holdings and removing targets for shares sold of the banking and insurance services.
