Yen block
The Yen block is a term referring to the closed financial and economic system, created in the 1930s in Northeast Asia. It was based on the Japanese currency, the yen, and was set up as a way to integrate industrial and natural resources of occupied Manchuria (Manchukuo), and then occupied mainland China, into the economy of the Empire of Japan, at that time including present-day Taiwan and Korea.
