Strong Yen keeps Hindering Japanese Economic Growth


 

 

Yen-denominated assets keep attracting central banks as they search for safe haven assets amid the continued eurozone crisis.

 

 

 

 

 
Last year central banks from around the globe invested in Japanese assets over ¥44 trillion, most of the sum was invested in bonds. This is the highest figure since 2002.
 
This leads to higher demand for the Japanese Yen and bonds. Such an immense inflow of capital makes the Japanese currency strengthen further. The strengthening hinders Japanese export, thus having a negative impact on the national economy. As a result, the Bank of Japan continues the series of currency interventions to prevent the national currency form strengthening. Last year, the BOJ spend over ¥14 million on interventions.
