EUR/JPY: the ECB versus the Bank of Japan

The rate between the euro (EUR) and the Japanese yen (JPY) is one of the most traded pairs in the world. Its dynamics are first and foremost driven by the monetary policy gap between two central banks : the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ).

For many years, the Bank of Japan kept interest rates very low, even negative, while the ECB gradually raised its own. This yield gap encouraged many investors to borrow in yen to invest elsewhere (the "carry trade"), which weighed lastingly on the JPY and pushed EUR/JPY higher.

The yen nonetheless retains its safe-haven status : during episodes of strong risk aversion on the markets, it can strengthen rapidly. The pair therefore remains sensitive to two forces : the ECB/BoJ rate gap on one side, and risk appetite on the other. A more marked tightening of Bank of Japan policy is one of the main factors likely to support the yen against the euro.

Frequently asked questions about EUR/JPY exchange

The EUR/JPY rate mainly reflects the monetary policy gap between the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ). When the ECB keeps rates higher than the BoJ, the euro tends to appreciate against the yen. The pair also reacts to risk appetite : the yen, a safe-haven currency, often strengthens during periods of market tension.

For years, the Bank of Japan kept interest rates very low, even negative, while the ECB raised its own. This yield gap prompted many investors to sell yen in favour of better-paying currencies such as the euro, contributing to the weakening of the JPY. A lasting rebound of the yen depends on a tightening of BoJ policy.

There is no universal ideal moment. The EUR/JPY rate moves continuously with the markets and the decisions of the ECB and the Bank of Japan. The best approach is to follow the real rate in real time and trigger your exchange when the level suits you, rather than accepting a fixed rate with a hidden margin.

ibani applies a transparent margin from 0.40% on the real interbank rate, decreasing with amounts. There are no opening or account maintenance fees. Transfers to a yen account may, however, involve correspondent bank fees, which are independent of ibani. See the details on the Rates page.
