Japan faces pressure from peers at today's G7 meet
FUKUOKA. Japan, July 7: The United States and other members of the elite Group of Seven (G7) club will ratchet up pressure on Japan'this weekend to prop up its leg of the world economy, a report said today, according to AFP.
Saturday’s meeting of G7 finance ministers In this southern Japanese city comes at a sensitive time for the host country.
The Bank of Japan is preparing to defy domestic and international pressure and lift its 1 7-month-old "zero-rate” monetary policy, given tentative signs of an economic recovery.
While unable to intercede in the central bank's decisionmaking. Japanese Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa will Sledge to stick to a big-spending seal policy, the Ninon Kezai Shimbun said.
The meetings chairman will also tell his G7 partners — Britain. Canada. France. Germany. Italy and the United
States — that Japan will consider an extra spending package later this year, the newspaper said
Miyazawa has indicated the government will decide on another kick-start package, possibly worth up to four trillion yen (38 billion dollars), after April-June economic growth data is released in September.
The G7 finance ministers will agree on the need for more pump-priming spending in Japan, despite the explosion of debt It has caused, and the fact that Europe is now growing faster, the business daily said.
US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, who will attend the Fukuoka meeting, on Wednesday called for faster growth in Japan and sustained momentum in Europe to balance out global economic activity led by the US.
Vice Finance Minister Haruhiko Kuroda meanwhile noted the debt problems that Japan is amassing after splurg-
Ing more than 100 trillion yen on the weakling economy over the past decade.
"Placing the economy on the right track Is our priority, but It Is difficult to step up economic stimulus measures," Kuroda was quoted as saying
However, “we believe that we should continue our current stance on stimulative economic policies."
It would be premature to declare a recovery. Kuroda added, after last Tuesday's “Tankan" business confidence survey showed major manufacturers' sentiment at nearly a three-year high.
"There are brighter signs in the corporate sector, but they have not spread to improvement in the household sector." he said.
Those in the central bank in favor of raising Interest rates argue not only that Japan is growing fast enough to accommodate more expensive money, but also that essentially free
money has discouraged the process of economic reform at many Japanese companies.
For the government, the priority Is to see faster business spending make the leap to more robust spending by consumers. Private consumption accounts for two-thirds of all economic growth in Japan.
On Thursday, Miyazawa said Japan's economy would grow by far more than the 1.0 per cent targeted by the government for the financial year ending March 200).
Over the past fiscal year, the economy grew Just 0.5 per cent, missing the government's meagre target of 0.6 per cent growth. But it was still the first time the world’s second biggest economy had grown in three years.
The G7 meeting will prepare the stage for a higher-profile Group of Eight summit, adding Russia to the conference table, on the southern Japanese island of Okinawa from July 21 to 23.
