I don't think we can change the big waves once we intervene. In the first place, intervention that goes against the flow of the market is against the rules.
What I'm worried about when prices rise due to the depreciation of the yen is not people's lives, but the approval rating, which is even low, will drop again due to criticism from the public, right?
I think that if the national power becomes stronger, the yen will naturally appreciate, but I feel that the ruling party in the administration, which has abandoned such measures and only impoverished citizens due to tax increases, should correct its way of thinking.
Even if you pay a high pension every month, there are few take-home payments in your old age, so even though there are people who are told to increase living expenses for old age at their own risk and have started NISA, it is an act of verbally intervening in the exchange rate to induce depreciation of the yen and cause a crash in stock prices.
