The driving force behind this glut of cheap goods is a significantly undervalued yuan, a result of high capital outflows caused by both domestic policies and U.S. restrictions on investment in China. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/06/05/world/us-china-trade-war/ #commentary #worldnews #china #yuan #cny #monetarypolicy #us #trade

With the recent focus on the yen and a resurgence in interest in individual investing, the phrase Mrs. Watanabe — already one of the most common pieces of jargon in Japanese financial circles — has seen a resurgence. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/05/29/japan/japanese-retail-investors/

The greenback is strong because the American economy is vigorous. The region does have choices, none of them easy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/04/18/world/asian-currencies-dollar-rampage/ #commentary #worldnews #usdollar #currencies #monetarypolicy #euro #yuan #yen

While the Bank of Japan's rate hike is seen as a positive step, structural issues such as demographics, weak consumption and high national debt continue to pose significant challenges. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2024/03/22/boj-rate-decision/ #editorials #boj #japaneseeconomy #kazuoueda #inflation #monetarypolicy

Totems of ultra-easy money have been retired in Japan. Just don’t expect this rate hike to be the start of a cycle. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/03/21/boj-rate-hike/ #commentary #boj #yen #monetarypolicy #japaneseeconomy #inflation

Japan’s central banker was a foot-dragging rebel in 2000, and proven correct. Why the rush to end negative borrowing costs now? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/02/29/japan/boj-rate-hike/ #commentary #japan #boj #kazuoueda #japaneseeconomy #inflation #monetarypolicy

If you think someone talking about how to fix the imbalances and intentional dysfunction of global monetary and economic policies isn't talking about how to stop the systemic antiblack racist violence of the most powerful white supremacists on earth and how their regime reproduces itself at the source... then you are just not seeing the big picture yet. Take all the time you need, but see it.

the federal reserve works for wall street. wall street works for the world bank and imf. world bank and imf work to protect themselves from other people demanding transparent protocols that would ensure global economic justice through surplus regulation. because then they would have to do a real job and sacrifice their absurd overlord status.

is this so complicated?

These lines from by are a satire on the extent of selfishness and shortsightedness we as humans can be sometimes prone to, as seen all too commonly around us.

On one hand, BOJ aims to maintain low policy rates to achieve a stable 2% inflation rate. On the other hand, it seeks to correct the excessive undervaluation of the yen. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2023/09/19/japan/boj-monetary-policy/?utm_content=buffer37b15&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #commentary #japan #boj #inflation #monetarypolicy #japaneseeconomy

China's leaders may be cautious about implementing further economic interventions due to various factors such as debt concerns and a weak external economic environment. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2023/09/11/world/china-economy-fix/?utm_content=buffer2e2d2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #commentary #worldnews #china #exports #trade #chineseeconomy #globaleconomy #monetarypolicy

When central banks (CB) attack the demand side of inflation, they should employ at least some tactics that target upper incomes or wealth. After all, those targets are most responsible for demand-side inflation:

Plus we have extreme #inequality.

There are probably many ways to do this, and they start with congress/parliament. My idea was to set a base wealth tax, and empower the CB raise the rate when inflation is high.

The BOJ's easy monetary policy has been a key driver of the yen's weakness, as it contrasts with tightening in the United States, Europe and most other developed economies. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/07/16/business/economy-business/g7-interest-rates/?utm_content=bufferc0e9a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn
