About this work
Global recession risks could reverse the yen’s weakness in the July 2022 assessment. Rising overseas yields had widened interest rate differentials while Bank of Japan yield curve control held domestic yields down. Falling global rates would reverse that pressure, supporting yen appreciation. This was a forecast based on the policy configuration at the time.
Abstract
Global recession risks could reverse the yen’s weakness in the July 2022 assessment. Rising overseas yields had widened interest rate differentials while Bank of Japan yield curve control held domestic yields down. Falling global rates would reverse that pressure, supporting yen appreciation. This was a forecast based on the policy configuration at the time.
