Japan bankruptcies hit record high as yen pressure bites
BREAKING: Japanese bankruptcies have surged to an all-time high.
The pressure is being tied to the collapse in the yen.
A weaker currency raises import costs, squeezes margins, and makes financing conditions harder for smaller companies.
For Japan, this is not just an FX headline anymore.
Currency weakness is now feeding into business stress, credit risk, and the broader policy debate.
