If you’ve been wanting to book a bargain vacation to Japan, do it now before it’s too late. Japan’s negative interest rate policy is expected to end, as early as March 19. That would lead to a rise in the Japanese yen, and a decline in the purchasing power of Taiwan’s currency.

The news is already driving a rise in the yen. On Monday at the Bank of Taiwan, the Japanese currency hit a high of NT$0.218. That’s the most expensive it’s been in nearly two months. Put in another way – if you had exchanged NT$100,000 just one month ago, you would have gotten an additional 12,000 yen. Experts say that if you’re in the market for yen, considering acting fast, and keep an eye on the Bank of Japan’s next moves.
