Weaker yen, more attractive for oversea purchaser to choose japanese supply / consumer goods
E.g japanese snacks able to price point same as korean or western
It has been reported that japanese mnc forex benefit boost their earning.
I myself have read my japanese hq financial report to their investors and surprised to see earning from oversea subsidiary finally made a huge contribution for their latest q earning
🌟🌟🌟The sector least likely to benefit from a weaker Japanese Yen is the Financial Sector. The Japanese Banks will have higher funding costs for foreign lending.
However a weaker Yen will greatly benefit Tourism as foreigners will find it attractive to go to Japan for their holidays. A weaker Yen will stimulate more exports especially for Japanese companies with global operations. Japan's corporate profits have risen to their highest levels since 1954 partly due to a weaker Yen.
As the Feds continue to increase interest rates in 2023 due to high inflation, I believe that the Japanese Yen will continue to face downward pressure this year. The Japanese people however will find imports will more expensive and cost of living higher.

Hence answer is B since financial sector will be affected greatly by a depreciated yens as profits are eroded, borrowing costs will increase and defaults likely be higher.

While the other 2 tourist and export are greatly effected by the cheap yen, more tourist can visit Japan, i went there before covid started, more countries can buy japan product too (export)
Thank you my friends who tag n share this post with me. 😘
Low interest rates result from an abundance of lenders and a scarcity of borrowers for the banks.
Currency depreciation should cause inflation by driving up the price of imports. Yet the weakness of the yen in the absence of high inflation demonstrates the low impact of depreciation in Japan.
Exports and tourism will be cheaper in terms of foreign currency when yen depreciate, making it more attractive for consumers to consume more! On the other hand, weaker yen leads to weak interest rate, which dont bode well for banks in the financial sector!
Export and tourism will benefits a depreciated yen
@LMSunshine Thanks for sharing the link
The tourism industry will get a boost from Yen depreciation since it will encourage more travelers to visit Japan again. The weak Yen will also stimulate exports.
