IMF Working paper-Is Japan's Population Aging Deflationary?
August 4, 2014--Summary: Japan has the most rapidly aging population in the world. This affects growth and fiscal sustainability, but the potential impact on inflation has been studied less.
We use the IMF's Global Integrated Fiscal and Monetary Model (GIMF) and find substantial deflationary pressures from aging, mainly from declining growth and falling land prices. Dissaving by the elderly makes matters worse as it leads to real exchange rate appreciation from the repatriation of foreign assets. The deflationary effects from aging are magnified by the large fiscal consolidation need. Many of these factors will beset other advanced countries as well, but we find that deflation risk from aging is not inevitable as ambitious structural reforms and an aggressive monetary policy reaction can provide the offset.

IMF Survey: China Would Benefit from Slower but Safer Growth
Successful implementation of comprehensive reform agenda will secure more balanced, sustainable growth
Slower credit and investment growth are required to contain risks
Slower but safer growth path is good for China and the world
July 31, 2014--
After three decades of remarkable growth, China's economy has been slowing.
The country needs to implement the announced reform agenda and address vulnerabilities to secure a safer development path, said the IMF.
China's growth was 7.7 percent in 2013 and is expected to be around 7½ percent in 2014, in line with the government’s target, the IMF said in its most recent report on the state of the Chinese economy. Much of China's slowdown has been structural, reflecting the natural growth convergence, but weak global growth has also contributed.
