Bank of Japan
(Bank Japan - BOJ)
Japanese Bank (the Bank of Japan) started its development from the initial model of the Federal Reserve as an independent institution. Although his government fully responsible for financial policy, his proposed changes are subject to approval by the Ministry of Finance. The Bank releases quarterly economic reviews (Tankan) - analogue of the American "Beige Book", which reflects the state of the economy. The content of Tankan does not necessarily lead to an automatic change in fiscal policy. In general, the lack of central bank independence promotes inflation. In this case, it is not for Japan, but there are other examples of how these or other approaches, with a financial or economic policies can lead to opposite results in different situations.
