Recently, affected by the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate cut next year, the yen exchange rate finally stopped falling. At the same time, the latest statement by the governor of the Bank of Japan was seen as a signal to lift the negative interest rate policy as soon as possible, and the yen exchange rate was further **.
In the foreign exchange market on the 14th, the yen exchange rate reached 1 US dollar = 140 for a whileThe high of 9 yen is the highest value in nearly five months. As of 5 p.m., it remained at about 1 US dollar = 141 yen, and the RMB continued to break 5, and experts said that there was a possibility of continuing **.
The appreciation of the yen also means that the price of goods in Japan that has risen for two years can be calmed down. In order to support people's lives under high prices, Japan** launched a large-scale subsidy policy this year, and since December, some localities have successively issued 70,000 yen subsidies to low-income families, and if there are children under the age of 18, another 50,000 yen will be paid to each person.
In addition to the subsidy, various local governments in Japan have also introduced new measures against high prices
Minato City will issue 50,000 yen gift vouchers to each child aged 0 and under high school students in Minato City, and there is no limit on household income. In February next year, we will send a guide to the recipients of the subsidy, and the voucher period will be from April to the end of July.
Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, has launched an independent "Childcare and Family Life Support Gift Certificate" that will distribute 10,000 yen gift vouchers to each child under the age of 18, and delivery is scheduled to begin in January next year
Ikawa Town, Akita Prefecture, will issue a 10,000 yen local gift certificate to each resident, and an additional 5,000 yen subsidy per household with children under high school students
About 390,000 households with children under the age of 18 will be given about 10 kilograms of rice or 5,000 yen gift vouchers to each of Hokkaido's families, which can be used to purchase rice and milk. Processing and payment are expected to begin in January 2024.
In addition to supporting families raising children, Japan's regional cities are facing a severe shortage of labor due to the young population being sucked away from major cities such as Tokyo.
To this end, Japan** has decided to provide half-price subsidies for transportation expenses for university graduates in Tokyo from 2024 to participate in job hunting activities at local companies.
In addition, we will support the expenses of students who have received subsidies when they move to the local area for employment, and reduce the financial burden of young people who have moved to the Tokyo area for further education and employment, and alleviate the problem of "one-pole concentration" of Tokyo's population.
For undergraduate students who have been studying at a university with headquarters in Tokyo for more than 4 years, and who have participated in a selection interview conducted by a local company after June 24, half of the transportation expenses required for each time will be subsidizedIf you find a job at a local company after April 25, you will be supported for the cost of relocation and other relocation.
According to the policy announced by the Cabinet Office, payments are mainly made to people who live in the Tokyo area (Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, Kanagawa) and have graduated from universities in Tokyo's 23 wards.
A maximum of 600,000 yen is paid for a single person, a maximum of 1 million yen is paid for family relocation, and a maximum of 3 million yen is paid if you start a business in your place of emigration. Therefore, if you want to work in other cities of your choice, don't forget to apply for this subsidy!
In Japan, there is also a local revitalization and relocation support program, which allows residents who have lived or commuted to live or commute in Tokyo's 23 wards for more than five years and move to a city outside the Tokyo metropolitan area and work in a local small or medium-sized enterprise, and can also apply for a subsidy of 600,000 yen for a single person, 1 million yuan for a family, and up to an additional 1 million yen per person with children.
Local governments also provide free childcare, medical care, housing subsidies, and support for start-ups to immigrants to attract families with children and those interested in agriculture and rural life.
