That was the plan all along. Make the Yen as weak as possible, so the Japanese companies would make as more profit as possible from exports.

The local population getting poorer and burdened day by day is just a minor issue for those corrupt politicians sold to those mega corporations.

They are working to match their interests, not the interests of the tax paying population.

Having a tourism record boom is another excuse to keep the Yen as low as possible.

Compared to 2020, the performance of Japanese companies has been gradually recovering every year, with the weak yen providing a tailwind.

The problem was that the yen has remained strong almost since the 1980s, and average national income has not increased.

The public's desire to purchase is also recovering, so we would like to see companies with good performance increase employee wages.

This is primarily the role of business managers, not the government or politicians.

Incidentally, it would be even better if crude oil prices fell quickly.
