Competition policy and deregulation

Abstract

Today, I would like to talk to you about Competition Policy and Deregulation in Japan. It is said that Japan has far too many administrative regulations and guidelines for its multiple industries. That is why there are such a large number of companies and people calling for deregulation. The Management and Coordination Agency reported that as of March, l995, there were precisely 10,760 government permits and licenses only 185 less than in the previous year
