The End of Free Money: Japan’s Economic and Political Consequences Amid Rising Interest Rates and Debt Levels
Japan’s government has been on a spending spree for years, with debt levels that are twice as high as those in the US. The country has also been suppressing interest rates to keep inflation at bay. However, as borrowing costs rise due to inflation, the era of free money is over. This could lead to serious economic and political consequences, including the weakening of the Japanese yen.
All currencies are experiencing instability, and investors should be prepared for discussions about tariffs, devaluations, and trade restrictions. This could all be reminiscent of the “beggar-thy-neighbor” actions of the 1930s that ultimately led to World War II. Keep an eye on Twitter for updates and secure tip sharing.
