It was to help the economy grow.
But countries like the U.S.
and other major economies have much higher interest rates.
So investors can earn better returns by saving or investing in other currencies besides Japan.
And that encourages investors to sell the yen and buy USD instead, for example.
So as more people do that,
The demand for the Japanese yen falls because it's not worth as much to them in terms of investment.
And then its value drops.
Now we're seeing this weakness in the Japanese currency.
Yeah, well, absolutely.
However, it's not so simple.
The Bank of Japan has started slowly raising interest rates after just years of ultra loose monetary policy.
And that basically means that they've been keeping the interest rates really, really low for many years.
And they've intervened in the foreign exchange market and also stepped up several times to try to prop up the yen by buying when the yen has fallen too quickly.
But officials also warned traders against pushing the yen down too fast in a way to try to calm the markets.
I mean, so when...
They raise interest rates.
They have to do it really slowly and really carefully because otherwise it disrupts the market.
It's very, very sensitive to these changes.
Well, the longer it goes, I mean, the worse the effects get.
