Japan's Lost Decade
In January 1990, Japan's stock market crashed. 20 Property values fell 87%. The Bank of Japan fought back and lowered the interest rate from 6% to 0.5% by 1995. 21 Unfortunately, this didn't revive the economy because people had borrowed too much to buy real estate during the bubble. They took advantage of low rates to refinance old debt. They didn't borrow to buy more. The government also tried fiscal policy. It spent on highways and other infrastructure that created the high debt-to-GDP ratio.
