Economist on Bank of Japan raising interest rates to highest in 17 years
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) raised interest rates on Friday (Jan 24) to their highest since the 2008 global financial crisis and revised up its inflation forecasts, underscoring its confidence that rising wages will keep inflation stable. Economics professor Sayuri Shirai from Keio University, who is also a former BOJ board member, tells CNA’s East Asia Tonight Japan is facing a dilemma as domestic consumption is stagnant and inflation is high.

Japan will punish China for being a threat to freedom.
The Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates after 17 years highlights the challenges of balancing economic growth and inflation. 🌏 While we watch these global shifts, it’s a reminder for us in Singapore to focus on strengthening our local economy. 🇸🇬 Supporting small businesses not only drives domestic consumption but also fosters innovation and creates jobs. Every dollar spent on a homegrown brand helps build a resilient and self-reliant community. Let’s back our local businesses and make a difference—who’s with me? 🙌✨
Wow she aint so smart is she?….. my goodness japan is doomed
Carry trade to start again hitting emerging economies
It's still tiny…you can't count 1- 7% are big interest.. that's too tiny..if you want high it should be around 17%- 30%
Japan shouldn't worry about yen depreciation. I don't think dollar can appreciate much more. Trump is not good for the dollar. And fiscal spending may keep rates high. But i don't know about the dollar.
Is it a conspiracy to woo Japanese people savings to invest more in a hungry US Treasury to safeguard USD dominance and safeguard Japanese 1.1 trillion USD reserves value. Expect more raise soon!
I don’t know Jack about economics, but they keep comparing the Japanese yen to the “strength” of the US dollar as if that means something. Sure the dollar is strong (whatever that means), the US is unliveable right now. Salaries are stagnant, $30-40 for a restaurant meal for one person, plus tip. Rent is $1,500 to $2,300+ per month for a one bedroom apartment. EVERYONE is struggling to just get by. Only people doing well are the ultra-wealthy. Everyone has to run a gofundme page for healthcare expenses, or mortgage their house. Right now, Japan is completely liveble. $5 meals, rent is reasonable, healthcare is affordable, etc. Not sure what Japan is going for, but please don’t become the US!
In other words, the minute you call yourself america’s friend is the last war- free moment you will experience. As kisenger said with PROOF OF ACTION “its bad to be america’s enemy but it’s FATAL to be america’s friend” LOOK AT JAPAN…america has SUCKED OUT EVERY AVAILABLE wealth funds & talent from it…yet it keeps japan in the dog house whilst telling everyone that Japan is a sovereign state…america insidiously steals & FORCES japan to PROP UP american empire…whilst telling the world japan is their bitch!!! not spreading nothing but the truth.….america AND THE WIORLD CANNOT expect to immediately silence the cries of their victims burning in fires of american making…just because it’s an inconvenient truth….deal with it.
言い換えれば、あなたが自分をアメリカの友人と呼ぶ瞬間が、あなたが経験する最後の戦争のない瞬間です。キセンジャーが証拠とともに言ったように、「アメリカの敵になるのは悪いことだが、アメリカの友人になるのは致命的だ」日本を見てください…アメリカは日本から利用可能なすべての富の資金と才能を吸い上げました…それでも日本は犬小屋に入れたままにし、日本は主権国家であると皆に伝えています…アメリカは陰険に日本から盗み、アメリカ帝国を支えるように強制しています…一方で、世界には日本は彼らの奴隷だと伝えています!!!真実以外何も広めていません。政界、アメリカは、それが不都合な真実だからといって、アメリカが作り出した炎の中で燃えている犠牲者の叫びをすぐに黙らせることは期待できない。….対処してください。.

War and economics experts suggest that Japan has made big mistakes by paying the highest interest rate as ot will kill Japan financially,?.
