Japan Earthquake 2025: How the 7.5 Quake Could Impact the Economy and Nikkei 225

Japan’s $300 Million Undersea Cable Gamble: Inside the Global Race to Secure the Internet’s Lifelines

Japan’s Bold Move: Subsidizing Cable-Laying Ships Japan’s decision to bankroll NEC’s purchase of undersea cable vessels signals a major policy shift to protect the nation’s digital lifelines. According to officials, Tokyo is prepared to front hundreds of millions of dollars so that NEC – Asia’s biggest undersea cable installer – can acquire ocean-going cable-laying ships of its own Tomshardware Lightreading. Each such ship is a massive specialized vessel (costing about $300 million apiece) equipped to carry and slowly spool out thousands of kilometers of fiber-optic cable across ocean floors. Until now, NEC has owned zero of these, relying instead on leasing

Japan Economy News Today, December 3, 2025: Services PMI Strengthens as Bond Yields Hit 17‑Year High and BOJ Eyes Rate Hike

Bank of Japan Raises Rates to 0.75%: Yen Slides, Bond Yields Jump and Asian Stocks Advance

Bank of Japan Raises Rates to 0.75%: Yen Slides, Bond Yields Jump and Asian Stocks Advance

Tokyo’s long era of “meaningful” interest rates moved another step closer to reality on Friday, Dec. 19, 2025, when the Bank of Japan (BOJ) lifted its key short-term policy rate to around 0.75%—a level Japan hasn’t seen in roughly three decades. Yet the market’s immediate verdict was a reminder that central banking is as much about guidance as it is about the headline number. The yen weakened after the decision, Japanese bond yields surged, and stocks across Asia pushed higher in a session shaped by a rare combination of domestic tightening in Japan and renewed expectations that the U.S. Federal
