What is going on with the Euro? Most of my income still comes from Japan, and I get a paycheck for the same amount every month. The same amount in Yen, that is, but when it arrives in my German bank account the Euro amount has been consistently increasing (significantly) for quite a while now. That is all good and well, but over the last couple of weeks, my African investments are also coming back with currency exchange gains. In guess that means that Europe is now under worse management than a random selection of African countries.
