There is growing interest in the use of critical slowing down and critical fluctuations as early warning signals for critical transitions in different complex systems. However, while some studies found them effective, others found the opposite. In this paper, we investigated why this might be so, by testing three commonly used indicators: lag-1 autocorrelation, variance, and low-frequency power spectrum at anticipating critical transitions in the very-high-frequency time series data of the Australian Dollar-Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc-Japanese Yen exchange rates. Besides testing rising trends in these indicators at a strict level of confidence using the Kendall-tau test, we also required statistically significant early warning signals to be concurrent in the three indicators, which must rise to appreciable values. We then found for our data set the optimum parameters for discovering critical transitions, and showed that the set of critical transitions found is generally insensitive to variations in the parameters. Suspecting that negative results in the literature are the results of low data frequencies, we created time series with time intervals over three orders of magnitude from the raw data, and tested them for early warning signals. Early warning signals can be reliably found only if the time interval of the data is shorter than the time scale of critical transitions in our complex system of interest. Finally, we compared the set of time windows with statistically significant early warning signals with the set of time windows followed by large movements, to conclude that the early warning signals indeed provide reliable information on impending critical transitions. This reliability becomes more compelling statistically the more events we test.

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.

In 2024, Japan's international tourism balance of payments amounted to around 5.9 trillion Japanese yen, increasing by over two trillion yen compared to the previous year. For decades, Japan had a negative tourism trade balance until inbound travel to Japan began soaring in 2012, turning Japan’s balance of payments in tourism positive from 2015 onwards. Soaring inbound travel and sluggish outbound travel

A positive tourism trade balance means that expenditure by inbound travelers to Japan is higher than the spending of Japanese travelers abroad. Japan’s inbound tourism fully recovered after the shutdown that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, continuing its growth trajectory from before the pandemic. In fact, the number of inbound travelers reached a new peak in 2024, as did the total expenditure by international travelers. On the other hand, outbound travel by Japanese travelers had yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels. This resulted in a pronounced difference in spending between the inbound and outbound tourism segments, leading to a large positive tourism trade balance. Inbound tourism as the rising star of Japan’s tourism industry Japan’s large population and high living standards are solid bases for its large and mature travel and tourism industry, which is dominated by domestic tourism. However, the inbound tourism segment has become the rising star in Japan’s travel and tourism industry, gaining ground by the year. In 2024, the share of expenditure generated by the inbound travel segment comprised nearly a quarter of total travel expenditure, smashing the previous record. The potential for inbound tourism is huge, as are the expectations towards it. Preliminary data on international traveler entries from the first few months of the year seems to suggest that 2025 will deliver.
