NEW JAPANESE BANKNOTES TO BE ISSUED FROM JULY 2024
“The banknotes feature as an anti-counterfeiting measure the world’s first three-dimensional holograms that make the portraits on bills appear to rotate when tilted. Tactile marks allow the visually impaired to identify the denominations.”
“From the time that they are issued, the new banknotes will be available from financial institutions and ATMs. Currently issued banknotes will continue to be legal tender.”
This ISN’T a revaluation of Japan’s currency.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FACING UNCERTAIN TIMES
“US Banks Dumping Exposure To $2,500,000,000,000 Market Before ‘Inevitable Losses’ Hammer Balance Sheets: Report”
“Some of the biggest banks in America are quietly selling their exposure to a troubled sector of the US economy, according to a new report.
The banks are beginning to dump commercial real estate loans in a push to “cut their losses,” reports the New York Times.”
“…These steps indicate a grudging acceptance by some lenders that the banking industry’s strategy of ‘extend and pretend’ is running out of steam, and that many property owners – especially owners of office buildings – are going to default on mortgages. That means big losses for lenders are inevitable and bank earnings will suffer.”
