What happened: Japan's interest rates are rising, with the FT framing the question of whether young people will lose out. Better returns from savings will help the asset-rich elderly but make life harder for young homebuyers. Why it matters: The split benefit means older savers gain from higher returns while younger people face tougher conditions when buying homes.
