$USD/JPY (USDJPY.FX)$ There was a statement of restraint to ...

ちとせにゃん : If Japan is also in a situation where inflation is progressing, savings are limited, and the Japanese government is unable to quickly advance effective policies, there is no choice but to defend our lives by moving from savings to investment.
The value of the Japanese yen has become quite cheap.
I want the government and the Bank of Japan not to do anything unnecessary and just stop interfering with the flow that has begun to move from savings to investment.

Riresa OP : That's true, isn't it? The other day, there was a complaint from the IMF regarding the depreciation of the yen and intervention.
I want the Ministry of Finance and the government to clarify what kind of thoughts the Ministry of Finance and the government have when the stock prices of export companies are affected by statements made by Japanese dignitaries, and if tariffs are applied by the Trump administration, there will be no choice but to counter them with a depreciation of the yen

ちとせにゃん : As Riresa-san mentioned, I would like the Ministry of Finance and the government to clearly state and explain. I do not necessarily support the Kokumin Shinto Party nor its policies, but I hope they thoroughly discuss policies that seem beneficial to the people, make decisions quickly, and show some progress. Since policies have both pros and cons, it is important to prioritize the ones with significant benefits, address them promptly, and handle any drawbacks through adjustments, guarantees, and relief measures to work towards a positive change for Japan now.

When the yen depreciates, it is detrimental to companies engaged in importing and selling due to the increased prices of energy and resource imports. However, if the government does not set a direction or take responsibility, companies cannot set their own direction or make equipment investments. While there are various vested interests at play, the traditional political dynamics of the Liberal Democratic Party often lead to no progress as one side tries to avoid confrontation. It is necessary to make good political decisions instead.

Currently, statements or implementations of interest rate hikes by the Ministry of Finance, Bank of Japan, and the government during tough economic times may appear to overseas observers as an ideal selling point against Japan. Personally, I believe that maintaining the current interest rate levels for at least six months to a year would be beneficial.

The Bank of Japan would like to raise interest rates when it's possible to do so. However, the true intention of the government and the Ministry of Finance is likely to avoid excessive inflation, high interest rates, and increased payments on national debt, causing inconvenience.

Riresa OP : It's a masterpiece! Thank you ♪
I'm happy! I totally agree.
Interest rate hikes that are behind the rest of the world. 20 years with zero interest rates and no growth at all. In August, the whole world discovered the fact that they were being played with yen carries. This and that reversal statements from the Bank of Japan presidential election. If interest rates aren't raised in December with this, and next year, I think the world will completely lose their trust. Yamato HD's first decline in sales and profit. I think consumption has cooled down as a result of sacrificing the assets of many citizens due to the appreciation of yen and stock depreciation caused by the Ueda shock in August. Who will gain how much if the yen appreciates?

ちとせにゃん : I'm so happy Riresa said that.
Looking at Japanese companies around the world is very dry, and I think they can make money.
The depreciation of the yen has progressed, and the Nikkei Stock Average has risen, but it shows that the dollar-denominated Nikkei Stock Average did not exceed the high price in February 2021.
The reality is that the Japanese market is not being bought in dollars by foreign institutional investors.
Individual investors are at the mercy of yen carry transactions and repeated transactions that are completely turned into toys and make big profits due to fluctuations in the Nikkei Stock Average by foreign institutional investors involved in SQ.

I want individual investors to be able to participate by making it possible to buy from 1 share rather than in units of 100 shares, and investment taxation is out of the question.
I want 20% tax and regulation on profits from pachinko, internet gambling, and casinos (recently they haven't been doing pachinko, horse racing, etc., and I'm not very familiar with it, so I'm sorry for my selfish opinion)
The extreme depreciation policy of the yen is also out of the question so as not to reduce Japan's wealth by 2100 trillion, but due to the movement from savings to investment, profits from investing in Japanese stocks may be taxed 10%, but I would like you to try it out on a time-limited basis.
Yamato HD's decline in profit and sales is surprising, and as you pointed out, I think consumption has cooled down and there is a big refraining from buying.
In this economic environment, I think it was difficult to decide on price increases.
If sales prices of companies continue to rise due to soaring labor costs and remaining high imported resource prices due to stable yen, it seems likely that inflation will progress reliably, and it seems necessary to make future investment decisions in a different situation than before.
