Abstract
In these concluding observations, I want briefly to outline my views of the fiscal challenges facing Japan and then to address the options for handling them. As the chapters in this volume make clear, there is much agreement among fiscal experts and policy makers on the underlying fiscal problems, but less of a consensus on the need for speedy actions and on what those actions should be.
