- W2520366767 abstract "In the last year, postal reform in Japan has emerged from the shadows to become the single policy issue that could remake Japanese politics. After his legislative package for postal privatization was blocked by opposition from his own party, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi dissolved the lower house of the Diet, and made the election into a referendum on postal reform. Appealing to urban voters with an attack on entrenched interests, he won a landslide victory. His legislative package will be resubmitted soon to the Diet and is predicted to pass easily, ushering in a new political era. In contrast to Europe, the driving force behind postal reform in Japan is not competition in postal delivery, but unlocking the immense financial assets of the postal system. Japan’s postal system now includes not just postal delivery, but also huge postal bank and postal life insurance operations. The postal bank is the world’s largest bank, with total assets of ¥227 trillion (US$2.07 trillion) 1 in individual accounts – 30% of household savings in Japan and over twice the asset size of Mizuho Financial or Citigroup, the two next largest banking groups in the world. The postal life insurance scheme, with ¥122 trillion (US$1.11 trillion) in policies, has 40% of Japanese households’ life-insurance assets and is larger than its four largest private competitors combined. Postal savings and postal life insurance together hold a quarter of Japan’s personal financial assets. (Economist, 2004). Postal privatization will make it possible to remobilize these assets, and remove distortions to competition in the banking and insurance sectors. Yet postal savings and postal life insurance are now provided only by the postal network of close to 25,000 post offices, which also provides postal collection and delivery. This means that while Koizumi’s reform program may be driven by public finance concerns, it will necessarily entail fundamental changes in the" @default.
