日元瘋狂貶值將會導致亞洲"貨幣戰爭"?

Asia's "currency war"

亞洲的“貨幣戰”

From South Korea to Indonesia and India, monetary authorities are preparing to let their currencies weaken as a falling Japanese yen makes their economies uncompetitive, and drags them into what some policymakers are calling a "currency war".

從韓國到印尼和印度，各國貨幣政策機構正準備讓本幣貶值，因爲日元下跌導致他們經濟的競爭力下降，並將各國拖入一場決策者口中的"貨幣戰"。

The Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit, Thai baht and other currencies had been sliding gradually against a broadly strong US dollar this year.

印尼盧比、馬來西亞林吉特、泰銖等貨幣與今年全線走強的美元之間的匯率一直在逐步下跌。

While the yen has lost 16% in 9 months and the euro has fallen 18% since early May 2014, Asian currencies have depreciated far less, making their exports less cheap in international markets.

日元9個月貶值16%，歐元從2014年5月初開始下跌18%，而相比之下亞洲貨幣的貶值則少的多，導致其出口產品在國際市場中不那麼便宜。
