CIO Weekly: Japan - Intervention Adds To Policy Pressure

Japan For The Long Haul

Japan's recovery from the “lost decades” of deflation and meager growth has been an on-again, off-again phenomenon.

FLJH's significant financial exposure is problematic, though, amid Japan's fiscal-monetary policy conflict reflected in fiscal concerns in rising long-term bond yields.
