Yen hits 34-year low, defying end of negative rates
Quick Glance: Japan's Economic Policy and the Impact on the Yen
  • On March 19, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised interest rates for the first time in 17 years, signaling the end of an era of negative interest rates.

  • Despite this adjustment, Japan continues to have the lowest interest rates globally. The notion that lower interest rates lead to higher growth was the basis for adopting negative rates.

  • However, negative rates did not serve as an economic stimulus but rather burdened commercial banks' reserves at the central bank.

  • The BoJ's policy of low and negative interest rates has hindered bank credit growth in Japan for years, impacting the economy negatively.
