The impact of the depreciation of the yen
► The depreciation of the yen for international students is equivalent to the appreciation of the RMB, which means that studying in Japan is quite cost-effective at this time. is equivalent to a 76% discount. Why does say so? For example, if you apply for a language school in Japan, the tuition fee for the first year is around 1.7 million to 800,000 yen . Previously, I went to Japan to study in a language school ( exchange rate 0.068), and the tuition required to pay in the first year was about RMB 47,600 to 54,400 .
Now apply for a language school (today's exchange rate is 0.052), and the tuition fee required for the first year is about RMB 36,100 to 41,300 . In other words, in terms of tuition fees, you can save more than 10,000 yuan. For international students from ordinary families, the 10,000 yuan saved can be used to buy air tickets to Japan, or as living expenses after going to Japan, which can all relieve the family of a lot of economic pressure.
► Home buyers
At this time, the yen exchange rate is down, and is a godsend opportunity for those who want to buy real estate in Japan. is depreciating because the yen is yen depreciated, so for people with high transaction volume, the more they exchange yen at this time, the more they "make". The biggest advantage of the decline in exchange rate is that buying a house in is cheaper to . Based on a house worth 20 million yen, it would cost RMB 1.3 million to depreciate the house before it depreciates, but now it only costs RMB 1.04 million to buy it! Save more than 200,000 yuan!
yen depreciation is very friendly to international students and home buyers, but may not be so friendly to friends who live and work in Japan. The depreciation of the yen means that one's salary has also shrunk to a certain extent. This period of time is very unsuitable to send money back to China from Japan.
