COVID-19 directly impacted retail volume sales of consumer appliances in 2020 and 2021, but in 2022 and 2023 its impact faded. However, a larger impact in 2022 and 2023 has been from inflation, which derived in large part from the war in Ukraine, which broke out in early 2022. Gaps in strategies by the central bank and politics around the globe have also contributed to a large-scale weakening of the Japanese yen.
