Yen and the Japan Earthquake

[da2ce7]

Japan has a massive amount of off-shore investment,  in many ways this is Japan insurance policy.

The Bank of Japan has a interest rate of 0%-0.10%.  With the incredibly low interest rate, the effective giving away of such a high valued currency must be causing massive hidden economic harm.

Where is this 'new' money flowing through the Japanese economy?  How has the earthquake changes Japan's economic outlook?

Not so much has been changed. Only general constructors made money.

I would say that Japan is creating economic movement because its really preparing for war. North Korea is a growing threat and they need to manufacture weapons, grow their army and reinforce their defenses. They have also lifted their self ban on sending troops outside their country which indicates they are planning something.
