In 2024, the value of bicycles imported to Japan amounted to approximately ***** billion Japanese yen. This represented a decrease compared to the previous year, when the value reached around ***** billion yen. While the number of imported bicycles gradually declined within the last decade, the total import value has fluctuated. Inflation of bicycle prices The increase in the import value may be related to several factors. Firstly, more and more people settle for e-bikes rather than the more affordable but basic city bikes. Secondly, disrupted supply chains due to the COVID-19 pandemic had hampered with the supply of bicycle parts, which resulted in a price hike while high demand prevailed. Though supply chains have recovered, prices have not declined as overall inflation has hit many regions worldwide. From a macroeconomic perspective, Japan, as an exporter of bicycle parts, profits from higher parts prices as it shifts the trade balance into a surplus. Japan: producer and importer of e-bikes Domestic bicycle production has specialized in e-bikes. Shortly after production of e-bikes began, they became the most commonly fully assembled prototype produced in Japan today. The top suppliers of bicycles for Japan are China, Taiwan, and Cambodia. For China, Japan is the second largest importer of normal bicycles after the United States of America and is close to becoming the largest importer of Chinese e-bikes.

The statistic shows the national debt of Japan from 2020 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. The amount of Japan's national debt in 2024 amounted to about 1,436.5 trillion yen.

Japan's economic power With one of the largest gross domestic products (GDP), Japan is among the largest economies in the world. However, ever since the global financial crisis, Japan's GDP - like many others - has been slightly unstable; Japan even reported a negative GDP growth in comparison to the previous year in 2011 and in 2014. Still, it is estimated that gross domestic product in Japan will continue to thrive over the next decade. One indicator is Japan's inflation rate: Despite the aforementioned economic slumps, Japan has managed to maintain one of the lowest inflation rates in the world, and it also reduced its unemployment rate. Between 2010 and 2013, the unemployment rate in Japan decreased by approximately one percent, and it is expected to drop even lower over the next years. Recently, Japan has been reporting a trade deficit, meaning the value of its imports exceeds the value of its exports. Most of these imports have come from China and the United States. The trade deficit is one of the causes for in an increase of the national debt. It is estimated that the national debt in relation to the GDP will increase further until 2020.

The US dollar index of November 10, 2025 was lower than it was in October 2025, although still above the level in June 2025, the lowest value in the current year. This reveals itself in a historical graphic on the past 50 years, measuring the relative strength of the U.S. dollar. This metric is different from other FX graphics that compare the U.S. dollar against other currencies. By October 1, 2025, the DXY index was around 97.66 points. The history of the DXY Index The index shown here – often referred to with the code DXY or USDX -measures the value of the U.S. dollar compared to a basket of six other foreign currencies. This basket includes the euro, the Swiss franc, the Japanese yen, the Canadian dollar, the British pound, and the Swedish króna. The index was created in 1973, after the arrival of the petrodollar and the dissolution of the Bretton Woods Agreement. Today, most of these currencies remain connected to the United States' largest trade partners. The relevance of the DXY Index The index focuses on trade and the strength of the U.S. dollar against specific currencies. It's less about inflation or devaluation, which is measured in alternative metrics like the Big Mac Index. Indeed, as the methodology behind the DXY Index has only been updated once – when the euro arrived in 1999 – some argue this composition is not accurate to the current state of the world. The price development of the U.S. dollar affects many things, including commodity prices in general.
