lost decade

Definition

The period roughly between the early 1990s and 2000s when Japan's economic expansion came to a total halt and the Japanese real estate and stock market crashed. There was an immediate debt crisis, defaulted loans abounded, banks had to be bailed out by the government, and land values slumped.
