| Abstract: | So far this year the yen has risen by around 10% to ¥108 to the US dollar. On 8 April Finance Minister Aso said that Japan was ready to take “necessary steps to protect the economy from currency volatility”, although currency intervention was not explicitly mentioned. The hosting by Japan of a G7 summit in late May is a political obstacle to currency intervention before then. |
