We were 1.04 against the yen last year because of their economy issues AUD was . Then Yen improved to .94. But see now it's excellent for Aussies travelling to Japan which we were doing last year.

BOJ also maintaining ultra low interest rates even with recent rises. Add in declining population, national debt to gdp ratio worse than USA. Persistent stagflation





Korea facing a severe demographic problem ageing and shrinking population with birth rates less than 1.0, declining domestic demand and declining exports
