Wednesday, August 5, 2026
Japan's former Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said in a Bloomberg TV interview in Tokyo that joint US-Japan currency intervention has provided temporary support for the yen but is not a permanent solution. Kishida stated that a ¥370 trillion growth strategy represents the long-term approach needed to address Japan's economic challenges. He did not specify a timeline for when the strategy would produce results.
