Smart Money Institute 🌱 | Global Outlook Brief
Japan is now facing a perfect storm: prices are surging while growth is vanishing. This is classic stagflation — and it’s intensifying. Inflation on essentials like rice has soared nearly 100%, while energy costs jump after subsidy cuts. Meanwhile, GDP shrank 0.7% in Q1, and consumer spending is collapsing.
As PM Ishiba’s approval plunges, whispers of emergency stimulus grow louder. Trade deals under Trump’s policy are moving slowly, adding pressure.
At Smart Money Institute 🌱, we see this as a signal: the old financial systems are cracking. Smart capital must now seek resilient assets like tokenized commodities and ISO 20022 tokens like XRP.
Watch closely. Learn wisely. Move early.
