Since the early 1990s, JapanEconomyIt has been in a downturn, dubbed the "Lost Twenty Years", and even extended to the "Lost Thirty Years". Such a long period of stagnation has left Japan facing multiple challenges. First of all, the aging population and the declining birthrate have led to insufficient labor supply, which has affected the improvement of productivity and the development of innovation capabilities. Second, low productivity is also a constraintEconomyBottlenecks in growth, rigid management systems and labor markets in Japanese companies have made resource allocation inflexible. In addition, sluggish domestic demand and weak consumption have also limited it to a certain extentEconomygrowth potential.

It is necessary to analyze Japan in depthEconomyThe problem cannot be ignored in the ** and monetary relations between Japan and the United States. The United States is one of Japan's largest partners, and the two countries are inEconomyActivities are closely linked. When the United StatesEconomyWhen it is strong, it usually causes the yen to depreciate relative to the dollar, which is good for Japanese exports. However, when the dollar strengthens, the competitiveness of Japan's exports is suppressed, to JapanEconomygrowth poses significant challenges.
In addition to the influence of the US dollar, structural problems within Japan are also responsibleEconomyAn important reason for the long-term downturn.

In the face of the strength and pressure of the US dollar, we should adopt a flexible exchange rate policy and deficit adjustment, and actively cooperate with other countries to find new growth points and market opportunities.
In addition, Japan should strengthen cooperation with other countries to jointly address global challenges, such as climate change and scientific and technological innovation. By strengthening with other developed and emerging countriesEconomyJapan can work together to address challenges and achieve greater sustainability and stabilityEconomyDevelop.
To sum up, JapanEconomyOver the past 28 years, there have been many challengesMonetary policyand the influence of the US dollar is an important factor in this.
