Introduction

According to the Flows of Funds Accounts issued in June by the Bank of Japan， financial assets of thehouseholds sector decreased in fiscal 2000 for the first time since the survey was begun. Consideringthat the household savings flow has grown by at least 30 trillion yen annually， and that financial assetswere expected to continue growing steadily， this finding has caught many by surprise.

To explain how this reversal could have happened， this paper examines background factors such asasset formation in the household sector and structural changes in transactions with other sectors， andlooks at the prospects for the future.
