Japan reiterates close coordination with the United States in monitoring its currency markets, following its previous involvement in currency intervention.

Japan's Finance Minister confirmed close coordination with the U.S. Treasury Department to maintain currency market stability, and reiterated that the policy stance remains unchanged.

On September 11, 2026, at 09:33 AM, Reuters reported that Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama revealed on Friday (September 11) that the Japanese government will continue to coordinate closely with the United States to ensure that the foreign exchange market operates in an orderly manner, amid the movements of the yen that have attracted market attention.

Katayama stated at a regular press conference that Japan's policy position remains unchanged from the period when Japan and the United States jointly intervened in the currency markets and issued joint statements. He reiterated that Japan will continue to maintain close contact and coordination with the U.S. Treasury Department and work together to ensure that the foreign exchange market operates in an orderly manner.

When asked about U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bescent's recent warning to investors speculating against the yen, Katayama said Bescent's comments represented a frank view of the market and were a characteristic expected from someone with a hedge fund background.
