Japan’s corporate leaders sound alarm over weak yen — even dollar-earners are voicing concerns

Image
Japanese business executives, even those who have benefited from a weak yen, are calling for a stronger currency, with Kawasaki saying it would move manufacturing back to its home country if the yen strengthens. When the yen fluctuates, "we cannot make [a] strategy," Yoshinori Kanehana, chairman of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, told CNBC on the sidelines of the Gastech conference on Tuesday. He said it was the "biggest problem" for the company. Kanehana said that yen at 150 could make him consider moving manufacturing from the U.S. to Japan. It has 27 production sites outside the country, including in the U.S., and 17 at home, according to a company report published last year. Takayuki Ueda, president and CEO of energy major Inpex, wants the currency to be even stronger, saying that yen at 100 would be the "appropriate" level, suitable for the Japanese economy.

'I didn't speak the Queen's English': Why people worry about their accents

Image
Image source, Mia Tanswell Image caption, Mia Tanswell says she became conscious of her accent when she started university By Marc Ashdown Business correspondent Published 24 August 2026, 00:25 BST Growing up in Manchester, Mia Tanswell didn't give her accent much thought - until her first week at university in Loughborough. "I knew people were going to notice that I was northern and that I didn't speak the 'Queen's English'," the 22-year-old says.
