Strong Yen impacts Japan's industry

Seeking safer haven foreign investors tend to buy Yen thus pushing up its value. Stronger Yen undermines the domestic industries that take advantage of relocating manufacturing processes to emerging markets, said Masaaki Shirakawa from the Bank of Japan. The jobs in the industries disappear faster than the new ones can be created and there is a risk that these jobs may never be back even in case the Yen is weaker in future, he added.
