지문)

In 1985, five major economies—including the U.S. and Japan—signed the Plaza Accord, aiming to depreciate the U.S. dollar and appreciate the Japanese yen. The accord succeeded: within a year, the yen strengthened by over 50%. However, the unintended consequences of this agreement would leave a lasting scar on Japan’s economy.As the yen’s value surged, Japanese exports became less competitive abroad, threatening the country’s export-driven growth. To counteract the slowdown, Japan implemented low interest rates and eased credit policies. The result was a flood of capital into real estate and stock markets, creating one of the most infamous asset bubbles in modern history. Land prices in Tokyo quintupled, and Japanese firms invested heavily in overseas assets, earning headlines like “Japan is buying the world.”But the boom was short-lived. When the government raised interest rates in the early 1990s to cool overheating markets, the bubble burst. Asset prices collapsed, financial institutions suffered, and the economy entered a prolonged period of stagnation.This sequence of events reveals a sobering truth: ______________________________.
Even well-intended policies can spiral into crisis when structural imbalances go unchecked.
