JPY is the world's third-largest reserve currency (~6% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER 2024), the third-most-traded currency (after USD and EUR) per BIS Triennial Survey, and historically a major funding currency for carry trades. BoJ has maintained ultra-loose monetary policy (Yield Curve Control YCC, then phased out March 2024 with first rate hike since 2007).
