I hate foreign exchange rate, which makes my wage has low purchasing power in the world...for example, a Mercedes-Benz C-class is at least 60,000 US dollars (plus tax) in my country...
Life span of Japanese is long. Hong Kong is top. Japan is 2nd.
26% of Japanese is 65 years old or upper. They don't work.
Therefore GDP per capita is hard to rise in my country.
Ireland's figure is very misleading after it became a tax haven for large multi-national enterprises. Their GDP increased by nearly 25%(!) from 2014 to 2015 thanks to these massive companies.
and that exchange rate also makes it so foreign countries have an interest in investing in it and employing you, so if the exchange rate was "fair" you could end up unemployed too

Nowadays our GDP mainly relies on the service sector not manufacture, keep the exchange rate low only hurts domestic economic because we do not want to spend money, Japan used to have low exchange rate but thanks to Plaza Accord, now their people can easily afford both domestic and imported goods.
