逆戻りリスク / Reversal risk

Japanese Title (邦題): 「逆戻りリスク」末尾に

 

Reversal risk

Good morning to the World and Kanmon!

On the 20th, the vernal equinox day, the weather was very unstable in the Kanmon area.

According to the news, there was a maritime accident that a tanker capsized in the sea near here. It was really rough weather.

Here in Komorie, the temperature only rises to about 5 degrees even after noon. It turned out to be a day of heavy hail.

It was the vernal equinox, and just when we thought spring was in full swing, but it seems like the seasons have suddenly shifted backwards.

Speaking of going backwards, is the Japanese economy really okay?

Now in Japan, following the large companies’ response to the spring wage negotiations, the news that the Bank of Japan has lifted its “negative interest rate policy” and begun a shift away from large-scale monetary easing measures has become a hot topic.

However, when we host and entertain guests from overseas, we always feel that Japan is weakening.

Is Japan’s national power really recovering? Some people blame the foreign exchange rate for GDP, which has fallen to fourth place in the world, but the foreign exchange rate itself is a sign of national strength.

When we see our guests enjoying shopping and gourmet food with saying that everything is cheap in Japan, and the changes in the type of guests, I feel miserable. Is there something wrong with me feeling so?

Even in Japan, I can feel the disparity in the country’s power through the difference in economic power with the GAIJIN tourists who are now coming more and more.

Living standards can be seriously misunderstood unless they are considered based on world standards.

Thank you and you have a nice day looking at yourself objectively.

逆戻りリスク

世界中に朝が、そして関門にもあさが来ました。 おはようございます。

20日 春分の日の関門エリアはとても不安定な天候でした。

ニュースによると近くの海域でタンカーが転覆する海難事故も起きたようで、大荒れの空模様でした。

ここ小森江ではお昼を過ぎても気温は5度ほどにしか上がらず、積もるほどの雹まで降る一日になってしまいました。

春分ということで、春本番到来かと思いきや、一気に季節が逆戻りしたようです。

逆戻りといえば、日本経済、、、本当に大丈夫でしょうか?

今日本では大企業の春闘満額回答に続き、日銀が「マイナス金利政策」を解除し、大規模な金融緩和策からの転換に踏み出したとのニュースが話題です。

でも、海外からのゲストをおもてなししていて常々感じるのは「日本の弱体化」。

本当に日本の国力は回復してる? 世界第四位に転落したGDPを為替のせいだと解説する人もいますが、為替そのものもれっきとした国力。

ゲストさんたちが日本では何もかも安いと、羽振りよくショッピングやグルメを楽しんでいるのを見たり、客層の変化を肌で感じるにつけ、惨めさを感じる自分はどこかおかしいのでしょうか?

日本にいても、今ややってくるガイジンとの経済力の差を通して、国の勢いの格差を実感します。

生活水準は世界基準でとらえないと大きく見誤ります。

それでは、自分自身こそ客観的にみて素敵な一日を!
