The Federation of Automobile Manufacturers of Thailand: Domestic car sales in Thailand rose 10.60% year-on-year in May (compared to a 2.54% increase in April).On June 29th, it was reported that the Japanese government has drawn up an economic blueprint aiming for a real annual growth rate of over 1% and a nominal annual growth rate of over 3% by 2040. This target would be more than double the average growth rate of Japan over the past five years and is one of the most ambitious economic goals Tokyo has set in decades. The draft blueprint also proposes that by fiscal year 2040, cumulative investment by the public and private sectors will exceed 370 trillion yen (approximately US$2.29 trillion), while the annual capital expenditure target for the private sector is approximately 230 trillion yen, and GDP is projected to reach nearly 1100 trillion yen. This signifies Japans intention to break away from the underinvestment pattern that has constrained its economic growth for decades. The blueprint reflects Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis determination to revitalize the economy through strategic public-private partnerships and to invest resources in industries that the government deems crucial to Japans long-term competitiveness. Simultaneously, the government has urged the Bank of Japan to maintain interest rate policies conducive to economic growth. This indicates that the Japanese government prefers to maintain low financing costs and sows the seeds for potential policy friction with the Bank of Japan, which has been cautiously and gradually exiting its ultra-loose monetary policy environment.The Hang Seng Tech Index continued its upward trend in the morning session, rising more than 4% by midday.The Federation of Automobile Manufacturers of Thailand: Thailands automobile production in May increased by 17.94% year-on-year (compared to a decrease of 2.69% in April).According to the Financial Times, analysts say the number of IPOs in Japan fell to its lowest level in 15 years in the first half of this year. This situation is unlikely to improve in the short term due to a lack of startups able to go public quickly.

Government personnel who actively engage in cryptocurrencies or are discovered to be in possession of any are prohibited from taking part in the creation of legislation and policies pertaining to cryptocurrencies, according to a recent directive from the US Office of Government Ethics.

With Some Exceptions

Additionally, the advisory notice made clear that even if the restriction is in effect, it only does so with a de minimis exception.


Owners are still able to invest in cryptocurrencies via publicly listed shares and mutual funds of businesses offering cryptocurrency and blockchain services because to this exception. Stablecoins and all other forms of cryptocurrency are included.


Government personnel are still permitted to acquire cryptocurrencies; but, doing so will prevent them from contributing to the development of crypto-related regulations.


They may still work on such initiatives, however, provided they divert their cryptocurrency holdings into other financial opportunities.


The notification went on to further describe the situation, saying "An employee may not engage in a specific topic if the employee understands that particular item might have a direct and predictable influence on the value of their cryptocurrency or stablecoins."


However, even for those who are permitted to invest in cryptocurrency-related stock index listings, a $50k threshold has been imposed over which the de minimis exemption is no longer applicable.

Crypto investors suffer a loss

The cryptocurrency market isn't in the greatest of health right now, even if the Biden administration is concentrating on creating laws for cryptocurrencies after the POTUS issued an executive order for the same.


The continued bearishness is having an impact on cryptocurrency firms as the overall market value of all cryptocurrencies is struggling to reach $1 trillion.


Voyager Digital has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy a week after stopping the platform's withdrawal, trading, and deposit services after Harmony almost went bankrupt a while back.


Thus, even without the US GOE's decision, it would only have taken these investors a little longer to leave the market, similar to how many other investors are already doing.
