The falling yen: Low-calibre munitions
Keywords:
The Economist points out that a third of the output of Japanese companies is made overseas. Japanese firms are increasing profits with the weaker yen but not sharply reducing prices. South Korean companies have also moved production overseas. As a result the Economist says concerns about the weaker yen leading to depreciation by other countries are not realistic.

The impact of the yen at 100 to the dollar and the doubling of currency held by households and banks in Japan- 2013-2014
04/08/2013
Some of the added currency is likely to be invested in U.S. and European equity markets. The lower yen will help Japanese companies compete with manufacturers from S. Korea, the U.S. and Europe. Some of these companies were bringing cost levels down so they could compete at 80 to the dollar. These efforts will now give the companies an advantage.

Economist 11/20/2010
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
