Why does Japan want inflation if their Yen is already growing weaker?
In: Economics
I don’t know all the ins and outs, but inflation means that the cost of goods is going up. Part of the result is that companies make more money and wages have room to go up.
Wages in Japan have been pretty stagnant for a long ton time. And even with incredibly low interest rates, consumer demand and inflation have not gone up.
