A graphic that displays the dollar performance against other currencies reveals that economic developments had mixed results on currency exchanges. The third quarter of 2023 marked a period of disinflation in the euro area, while China's projected growth was projected to go up. The United States economy was said to have a relatively strong performance in Q3 2023, although growing capital market interest rate and the resumption of student loan repayments might dampen this growth at the end of 2023. A relatively weak Japanese yen Q3 2023 saw pressure from investors towards Japanese authorities on how they would respond to the situation surrounding the Japanese yen. The USD/JPY rate was close to ***, whereas analysts suspected it should be around ** given the country's purchase power parity. The main reason for this disparity is said to be the differences in central bank interest rates between the United States, the euro area, and Japan. Any future aggressive changes from, especially the U.S. Fed might lower those differences. Financial markets responded somewhat disappoint when Japan did not announce major plans to tackle the situation. Potential rent decreases in 2024 Central bank rates peak in 2023, although it is expected that some of these will decline in early 2024. That said, analysts expect overall policies will remain restrictive. For example, the Bank of England's interest rate remained unchanged at **** percent in Q3 2023. It is believed the United Kingdom's central bank will ease its interest rate in 2024 but less than either the U.S. Fed or the European Central Bank. This should be a positive development for the pound compared to either the euro or the dollar.

The U.S. dollar was the most common currency in foreign exchange reserves in 2023, comprising more than three times the amount of the euro in global reserves that year. This total peaked in 2015, partly due to the strength of the dollar during the Eurozone crisis. The share of the U.S. dollar has lost since to the Japanese yen and euro, as well as other currencies. Why do foreign exchange reserves matter? When countries with different currencies export goods, they must agree on a currency for payment. As a result, countries hold currency reserves worth trillions of U.S. dollars. After World War II, the U.S. dollar itself became the international currency in the Bretton Woods Agreement and is thus the most common currency for international payments. The United States Treasury is also seen by most as risk-free, giving the country a low-risk premium. For this reason, countries hold U.S. dollars in reserve because the currency holds value relatively well eventually. China and currency reserves Since 2016, the International Monetary Fund has included the Chinese renminbi (yuan) as part of the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket. This decision recognized the influence of the renminbi as a reserve currency, particularly in several Asian countries. China also holds significant foreign exchange reserves itself, funded by its large positive trade balance.

The Asia Pacific office real estate market, encompassing major economies like China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Australia, is experiencing robust growth, projected to maintain a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 10% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is driven by several key factors. Firstly, the burgeoning technology sector and increasing foreign direct investment in many APAC nations fuel demand for modern, high-quality office spaces. Secondly, urbanization and a growing middle class are contributing to increased business activity and a need for larger and more sophisticated office infrastructure, particularly in rapidly developing cities across the region. Thirdly, evolving work styles, although potentially impacting short-term trends, are likely to lead to long-term demand for flexible and adaptable office spaces, triggering renovations and new construction projects. However, the market is not without challenges. Economic uncertainty in some regions and rising interest rates could potentially dampen investment and slow down growth in certain segments. Furthermore, the availability of skilled labor and the ongoing impact of geopolitical events could influence the market's trajectory. The market is segmented by country, with China and India expected to remain dominant drivers of growth given their vast populations and economic expansion. Japan and South Korea, despite experiencing slower growth comparatively, represent significant markets with established infrastructure and robust corporate sectors. Australia and Southeast Asian nations (Singapore, Malaysia, etc.) also contribute substantially, driven by their attractiveness to foreign investment and regional economic strength. The analysis considers production, consumption, import, and export dynamics within the Asia Pacific region, providing a comprehensive understanding of market flows.

The US dollar index of February 2025 was higher than it was in 2024, although below the peak in late 2022. 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. 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 less on 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.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Japan stagnated 0 percent in the first quarter of 2025 over the previous quarter. This dataset provides - Japan GDP Growth Rate - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

In the fiscal year 2022, investments in public roads for construction and maintenance amounted to approximately **** trillion Japanese yen, up from **** trillion yen in the previous fiscal year. Construction expenditures exceeded maintenance expenses in that year. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), the Ministry’s yearly expenditures on public infrastructure will increase by roughly 40 percent until around fiscal 2044 compared to 2018 to counter infrastructure deterioration.
What causes infrastructure deterioration? The most relevant factors causing distress for materials used in road construction, e.g., asphalt, concrete, steel, are the building quality, temperature and humidity, load, as well as accidents and other damages. Each of those stress factors is relevant for Japan.Inspections have shown that rapidly built structures are prone to damage in particular. Furthermore, as Japan has pronounced seasonal weather, the fluctuation of temperature and humidity may have a stronger effect. Moreover, water and other chemical substances in the environment trigger corrosion of steel, often affecting the soundness of bridges, for example. Even if structures are well-built and structurally sound, the load takes its toll on the integrity over time. The term fatigue refers to structural damage caused by a cyclical load that is well below static strength. In other words, even if roads are designed for a certain number of vehicles of a certain weight, they will eventually wear out. For this reason, Japan declared some roads as essential logistical roads (which include all arterial roads), where trailers are allowed to transport ** ft international marine shipping containers (up to ** tons) without a permit for special vehicles otherwise required.Finally, accidents and other damages may impair the functionality of the infrastructure. These hazards are noteworthy for a country like Japan, where earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides happen from time to time. Although proactive design can mitigate natural disasters, their hardly predictable forces usually have an impact to some degree. Naturally, the age of the structure exacerbates these stress factors. Japan: The country of rapidly aging infrastructure Maintaining an integral part of Japan’s road infrastructure will become a challenge. The Japanese road infrastructure has experienced a fast expansion since the 1950s, paralleling the economy’s rapid-growth period (and partly fueling it). By March 2033, 63 percent of road bridges and 42 percent of tunnels are expected to be 50 years old or more. Cyclical road maintenance inspections hint at the possible extent of infrastructure deterioration if no countermeasures are taken.To judge the maintenance level of public roads, the government moreover calculates a maintenance rate. It takes not only into consideration the structural qualities required by legal standards but also the actual degree of congestion. The public sector aims to mitigate congestion, since it costs time and fatigues the road (and the people). The road sections with the highest congestion in Japan are typically those on urban expressways of Tokyo and Osaka.Against the backdrop of infrastructure deterioration, the Japanese population is aging rapidly and shrinking. While the economy and life expectancy have continued to grow since the 1950s, birth rates have sharply fallen since then, resulting in the current-day demographic. This demographic structure will impact rural depopulating areas in particular, where there is a shortage of civil engineers already today.
