Japan's Economic Risks: The Japanese yen is struggling, with rising borrowing costs and a high debt-to-GDP ratio, raising concerns about a potential crisis in the foreign exchange market by 2026.
Political Factors: Recent political moves, including an early election call by Senae Takaichi and promises of increased spending, have exacerbated fears regarding Japan's financial stability.
Long-standing Warnings: Despite warnings about Japanese debt for over two decades, many remain skeptical that a crisis will occur, leading to a sense of disbelief about the severity of the situation.
Potential Consequences: A falling yen could force the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates, which may cripple the economy and trigger a downward spiral.
