Gov stats I suspect are at least as "funny" as their US counterparts probably worse. I was given some pretty scary examples of what does and doesn't feed into the GDP stats. the point you and Paul raise about where the postal savings will go is very interesting. A lot of people are betting it heads towards equities. Others, like Daiwa, think it will head towards bonds. Given the size of the Japanese debt I don't know if I like JGBs for a long haul, short term yes but not long term. I have heard several times that the most rapidly growing retail bank presence in Japan is Citibank and that non yen deposits have been a strong attraction, along with the better credit. Have you heard anything to confirm or deny that?
