Abstract

The national ministries’ Independent Administrative Institutions (IAIs) were known until 2003 as Special Corporations (tokushuhoujin). The corporations were established after the Second World War to aid in the reconstruction of infrastructure destroyed during the war to resuscitate Japan’s industry. The ministries began to establish public corporations in 1947 during the Occupation at the encouragement of the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP). Four of the corporations were designated for foreign trade, eight supported domestic distribution, one served to control price adjustment and two were for economic rehabilitation.1
