The Japanese yen has tumbled by a fifth against the dollar this year, but broad shifts in the country’s economy mean its impact on Japan Inc is far more uneven than the last time the currency traded at such weak levels 24 years ago.

The landscape is now shifting as the yen has tumbled 20 per cent this year against the US dollar, reaching a low of ¥145 on Thursday. The real effective exchange rate, a measure of the currency’s strength against those of trading partners adjusting for price levels, has reached its lowest level since 1970, according to Bank of Japan data.

“Relative to Asian competitors, it has never on record been as cost-competitive as it is now,” said Nicholas Smith, Japan strategist at CLSA, who added that the Chinese real effective exchange rate has almost doubled since 1994 as Japan’s has been in long-term decline.
