Understand the local government finance system and functions.

【Course Contents】

Japanese local finance is challenged by a multiplicity of issues. These challenges include ageing and depopulation, ageing infrastructure, declining economic competitiveness, increasing energy and other material costs, climate change and worsening disaster risks, and other factors that increase expenditures but also undermine local tax revenues. Local finance policymakers and experts have therefore sought to implement measures to bolster local fiscal sustainability. This course examines the challenges, the policy responses, and the related fiscal measures.
