Recently, the foreign exchange market has come under pressure from the dollar, which has strengthened amid falling oil prices. Japan is not an oil country. But the yen is one of not many currencies that can compete with the US dollar, but even she made a strong fall. Russia is going through very difficult times. Commodity prices fell significantly. The raw materials sector for Russia is the main source of state revenue. When gas and oil prices fell, the ruble began to fall. Closing the borders of China also creates quite a few problems for the Russian economy. China is the main trading partner for Russia, and the loss of the ability to conduct business with the Middle Kingdom has a very negative effect on the Russian economy. Now the government is introducing a quarantine regime in the country. Japan has a much better chance of saving its economy than the Russian Federation.
