The increase in oil prices in late 1973 was a major shock for Japan which experienced a huge jump in the inflation rate to greater than 20 in 1974 a surge facilitated by money growth in 1973 in excess of 20 . The Bank of Japan like the other central banks discussed here began to pay more attention to money growth rates. In 1978 the Bank of Japan began to announce forecasts at the beginning of each quarter for M2 CDs.
