Japan Economic Update – What’s Really Happening 🇯🇵💰

Hey, Japan. What’s new with you? We just looked at the numbers and our economy is getting a surprising boost. Oh, congrats. But what actually got better? I thought things were a bit stagnant. Between January and April this year, our tourism revenue increased by 45%. 45%. Wow. So, it’s thanks to tourists. Wait, tourism? I thought your economy was all about high-tech exports like cars and electronics. Of course, we still make those. But people are visiting for our food, our unique culture, and our incredible sites. We have a lot to offer, and this year they are spending more than ever. So, tourism is booming. What about your traditional sectors? Well, our weak yen is a double-edged sword. It’s not helping our households much, right? I know about the weekend. Doesn’t that make things you buy from other countries, like energy and food, much more expensive for your own people? Exactly. So, while the week yen makes it super cheap for tourists to visit and buy things, it means our import costs have gone way up. So, domestic spending hasn’t been doing that well. But at least the flood of visitors is bringing in a lot of foreign money. So, our economy is getting a much needed boost finally. Well, congrats. That’s actually great news.
