Japan’s Finance Minister Defends Currency Intervention, Citing Speculative Excessive Moves
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In his first public acknowledgment of the government’s record intervention in the currency market, Japan’s Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki defended the action, stating that it had a significant impact in curbing excessive foreign exchange moves driven by speculation.

“We intervened in the market to counter excessive FX moves, which were driven by speculation,” Minister Suzuki told reporters on Tuesday. “From that standpoint, we believe that it had a certain effect.”

The Japanese government’s intervention in the currency market, reported to be around 2.8 trillion yen ($20 billion), was aimed at stabilizing the yen, which had weakened to a 24-year low of 160.17 against the US dollar. While the yen remains stronger than its weak point, it is still under pressure due to the significant gap in interest rates between Japan and other major economies.

“The intervention was necessary to prevent a further decline in the yen, which was driven by speculative trading,” said Takahide Kinouchi, senior economist at Nomura Securities

“However, the impact may be temporary, and the yen remains vulnerable to fluctuations in interest rates and global market sentiment.”

In Essence

Japan’s currency intervention has sparked debate among economists and market analysts, with some questioning its effectiveness in the face of persistent interest rate differentials. As the global economy continues to navigate monetary policy shifts, the implications of Japan’s intervention will be closely watched by investors and policymakers alike.
