Lipper: Chart Of The Week: Japan’s Move From ZIRP To NIRP Doing More Harm Than Good

FYI: The Bank of Japan moved to a policy of negative interest rates in the hope of boosting asset prices and depreciating the currency. To date this has been wholly counterproductive – the yen has strengthened and equities, particularly in the banking sector, have tumbled.
