Japan Finance Minister says no options ruled out on forex as BOJ Kuroda meets PM
TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Friday that the government would not rule out any options on foreign exchange moves, stepping up his verbal intervention against the yen’s recent precipitous falls.
He was speaking at a regular news conference as Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda entered Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s office.
Kuroda and Kishida meet from time to time to exchange views on the economy. His visit comes after the yen hit a 24-year low of 144.99 yen per dollar earlier this week.
