the yen has really held its own against the dollar.

Indeed... It would seem to be one of the benefits of a population that squirrels away every possible penny as they approach retirement.

I just wonder what will happen when withdrawals outpace deposits as people start retiring. Who will buy those JGBs then?

I had always wondered where they got that wacky term Ookurashou ("Ministry of the Big Warehouse)

Interesting trivia... So I wonder if their ministry that is equivalent to public works would be "ministry of the big outhouse"??
