TOKYO: Japan’s finance minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Thursday the government is watching currency market moves with “a high sense of urgency”, as the yen has fallen to four-month-lows beyond 151 per dollar.
Suzuki made no comment on currency intervention when asked by a reporter about the possibility of the government considering the measure.
