Japan’s Massive Money Experiment Is Over. Now What?

Bloomberg Originals 41



On March 19, Japan’s central bank ended its latest economic experiment. The BOJ scrapped the world’s last negative interest rate policy, with the first rate hike since 2007. The move ends the most aggressive monetary stimulus program in modern history, signaling confidence that the country is finally leaving behind years of deflation and economic stagnation. How will this massive shift disrupt everyday lives across the country and beyond?

But people from abroad want to live in Japan. Secondly, i dont see significant hardship from japanese citizen, high quality of goods they can afford; not the case with developing countries like Indonesia

What now? Increased cost to live, devaluation of your savings. SYSTEMS DESIGNED TO KEEP US ENSLAVED. Only those who would want us enslaved, and or are earning their wealth off the back of your inadequately compensated labor could argue against the costs of living, and values of your past labor, remaining unchanged, rather than the cost of living inflating at an outpaced rate to your wages, and in any case the process devaluing all of your past savings / labors. "Business leaders reluctant to raise compensations because of fear of having a lot of fixed costs now started to become open to raise wages" (because they will raise costs more than your wages so your wages actually are going down while their profits up ) In economy without corrupt inflation, your wages should raise based upon your skill and performance (work more efficiently, get paid more, and if its at the max it doesn't matter because nothing else is changing) that is only a scary concept to greedy business leaders. Look how they try to twist the end stating cheaper food, 8:02 when the lady is saying she goes to the sales section first before buying other necessities…
