Yay Capitalism!
The UK doesn't have any natural resources ? You're having a laugh ! North Sea oil and gas ……shame we don't drill it enough. Population 50 to 60 Million ? You're having another laugh …..more like 70 to 80 million
You are so correct – carry trade basically stops the money being spent within Japan
Enjoyable video with logical explaination
日本人はアメリカに資産の多くを奪われ苦しむだろう。けれどもそれが日本人にとって記憶に残るような苦痛となるかはわからない。WW2の後も国債と円の価値はゼロとなったが、現在日本人は国債や円に対する不信感を持っていない。不思議だ。おそらくは極端な労働主義に洗脳されてるからかもしれない。
Population in Japan is 122,427,731 as of 2026. 😅
When do you think inflation happen this year??
Thank you. I really appreciate that someone outside of Japan understands the pain of average working people in Japan.
If japan dies then whole world dies. its worlds atm.
Too busy saying how wonderful they are….
I Can't believe This Bro
Actually you're missing a critical piece of this equation. In 2022 the JPY dropped nearly 50% against the USD (Going from 110 JPY to now 160 JPY to the dollar). So in USD terms, Japan would have needed to have like 50% inflation over the last 3-4 years just to keep GDP identical in USD terms. As someone who lives in Japan and can attest to how significant the 4% inflation we've had is, That inflation needed to maintain GDP in USD terms would have caused a literal economic collapse. If you look up the Nominal GDP in JPY, The growth is actually Staggering for an economy of Japan's Size. 2022 – ¥570 T(rillion) Yen , 2023 – ¥595 T , 2024 – ¥646 T , 2025 – ¥671 T . That's 4.3% , 8.5%, 3.8% Nominal Growth in Japan's JPY Denominated GDP, and a consistent all-time record GDP numbers (Hitting 600T Yen for the first time ever in Q2 2024, a goal since 2015), Not Bad for a country that's struggled for decades to hit 2% inflation.
It's only because of the relative massive swing relative to the US Dollar that the GDP looks negative in USD Terms. In reality here in Japan on the ground, Japanese are making more JPY than in previous years and are spending more JPY in the economy than ever before (or at least since the 1980s).
MaJaPA make Japan poor again
My guess is that Japan has tricked the West for decades and outsourced risk in the form of yen carry trade, and will soon reel in that in the form of a snowballing unwind.
I believe a hard economy is actually the best time to build. While others complain, I focus on execution and a solid strategy. I made a smart move in early 2026, stayed the course, and just hit $1M. The momentum is great,
I do have a question. For someone with less than $100,000 to invest, How would you recommend we enter the market. I'm looking to study some traders and copy their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally.. What's your take on this approach????
Amazing video explaining yen carry trade scam. ❤
Good. Japan is a 🇺🇸 puppet
米国政府は国債を発行して、FRBに紙幣を刷らせます。日本は世界一の米国債の債権者です。米国債を日本が買う事を強制されて、結果、米国の経済を支えています。
It’s neutered by American economy
That doesn't make any sense if they print money and convert it to usd someone else got the japanese yen and they will probably spend it in the japan economy and create inflation. You can't just print endless currency without decreasing it's value.
Feels lika all the economy in the world is crap and specially peoples own economy
The USA is pulling down the Japanese economy
Your video is very interesting. I am a Japanese expat in the US. Japanese government is actually collecting tons of money through taxes including consumption tax and inheritance tax, for which I am too afraid to go back.
They gonna have to sell America treasury’s, and that gonna be a huge problem for US, the crisis is started!!
Sadly current PM loves to print money and is not willing to raise intrest rate.
In Japan, 68 million of the world's most serious workers are employed and provide product services.
American expat in Japan retired. Two thirds of my income is in dollars. This yen rate makes me rich! And debt free!
japan is not dying. japan is already dead…
we are already in heaven.
why are you so worried? (´・ω・`)?
Canafuckistand is just like Japan in one aspect the economy going ass backwards for 15 years in Canada
Economy is bad but the average price of condo in Tokyo has reached $1M, how did it happen?
I am from Japan and go to Japan often, and every time I think Japanese are still moderately rich.
Not enough money (credit) has been circulating in the peoples economy since 90s through small regional banks all gone to big corporations for their investments not for real productions. Solution: Credit creation in the small family businesses and bring back productions to Japan.
ドル建てだからなぁ、
日本経済的にはそこまで落ち込んで無いけどね
狂乱の時代から冷静になって日本人らしい慎ましい時代になった。貧富の差は大きくなったが、娯楽も食べ物も教育も安全も良いしね
「意図的な搾取」という陰謀論的な解釈は、単純な経済合理性（日本の輸出産業が円安を歓迎してきた）を無視してる。
国内は困るが、輸出で潤ってる部分は有るよ
My guess is that they have no choice but to take advantage of the weak yen. Japan doesn't have factories in its own country because of the impact of the strong yen.
I can't agree more.
BOJ has been the source of Yen-carry-trade for the entire duration of the so-called lost 30 years.
The stupidity of the past heads of BOJ including the current one made the Japanese population so poor except making handful of already-rich people even richer.
The docile Japanese voters allowed this gross social unfairness.
Key is the BOJ's intentional devaluation of JPY against USD. BOJ rode on the US inflation followed by interest rate hike to achieve cheaper JPY.
Tired of seeing these same old a$$ videos of Japanese economy. Ppl are only seeing through salary, debt, being wealthy where they doesn’t use their brain that the cost of living is so much high in Western Countries including taxes, nominal wages and annual income that all of your spendings won't even left at the end of the month and for that reason wages have to be high in those countries.
Aging population and shrinking workforce weigh on growth.
Looks like you're reading a script instead of stating the actual reason because this same info is used in many videos 😂😂
F@xk 倭寇
1億人の日本人が円安により貧しくなり、一握りの米国人だけが超お金持ちになり、大半の米国人が円キャリーによるドルの好景気で漠然と満足する。しかも、日本人は国外に出ない限り、貧しさをあまり感じないというところにこのシステムの巧妙さがある。
金があるイコール豊とちがうと思う。日本は今、神と共に調和する本来の姿になろうとしていると信じています。
アメリカに楯突いた日本の政府関係者は酷い制裁を受けます。
Yessssss Japan Must not Trust & Pay All to F** king USA ? Becarefull !
THEY are behind your Wealths
They will Bomb You Again like HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI Last time ⏲️ S
Sorry Japan LOVE ❤️ YOU TOO ❤️
Same thing which had happened in Japan has been happening in China now, however China's debt is tremendous and numbers they published are all fake. And they will be in deep trouble due to finishing population bonus, and China hasn't been cleared yet the middle income trap, and social security will be heavy burden later or soon. Japan will be rising up gain, this will be sure.He hasn't done study of how much Japan has asset overseas and domestically. He is wrong
yeah, as someone living in japan for over 20y, I can tell you the biggest problems economy is the US dollar, the carrytrade principle and US foreign policies. lol
恒久的円安前提での理論なら、日本は死ぬだろうけど、皆2011のドル円レートを葬っているからね
GDPはドルレートでの話で、あてにはならないよ
