テーマ:
Saving, Investment, and Japan’s Current Account Balance
概要:
Japan’s current account balance has been in surplus for much of the past three decades. Some observers now argue that rapid population aging will cause a move to deficits in coming years, both through adjustments in private behavior and public responses to challenging fiscal pressures. We evaluate Japan’s current account balance from a macroeconomic perspective, that is, in terms of developments in national saving and investment. We review the role of these factors in the recent evolution of the current account and its potential future development. We present preliminary results of long-term scenarios for the current account based on demographic influences in the context of a National Transfer Accounts framework. We find that the need to move to a path of fiscal sustainability will play a key role in determining the eventual path of current account adjustment. While the determinants are subject to considerable uncertainty, it is likely that Japan’s current account will remain in surplus throughout the next half-century.
