TOKYO (MNI) – Finance Minister Jun Azumi said on Tuesday that he
believes the Bank of Japan will continue supporting an economic recovery
by taking “appropriate policy measures in a timely manner.”
He also told reporters that he will monitor the BOJ’s two-day
policy-setting meeting ending later today.
Recent economic data have indicated that the Japanese economy is
moving upward after suffering a decline in global demand, he said.
Azumi said he will “watch developments” in foreign exchange rates,
which have shown “wide fluctuations” recently.
