Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated her government will implement policies to strengthen market confidence in the yen amid its recent weakness. Despite joint U.S.-Japan interventions and a Bank of Japan rate hike that made the yen the best-performing G10 currency in Q3, the yen remains relatively weak, causing inflation and import cost concerns. Takaichi emphasized that Japan's economic strategy focuses on growth and competitiveness, not exchange rate manipulation, while acknowledging the need for fiscal discipline. Analysts note that further intervention might occur, but sustained yen recovery requires domestic policy support.
