Why Trade-Weighted Index (NEER) matters for JPY
The Bank of Japan monitors the TWI when assessing imported inflation and the competitiveness of Japan's export sector. A strong TWI can reduce import inflation but also reduce export competitiveness.
How to interpret this series
A rising TWI means the jpy is strengthening in trade-weighted terms, reducing import costs but potentially weighing on export growth. The Bank of Japan may reference TWI levels in communications about currency policy.
