Thursday, August 6, 2026
Fumio Kishida, Japan's former Prime Minister, said in an interview with Bloomberg TV in Tokyo that joint US-Japan intervention has supported the yen but is not a fundamental shift for the currency or economy. Kishida emphasized that prime ministers should communicate effectively with both financial markets and the Bank of Japan governor. The remarks came amid ongoing discussions about yen stability and central bank coordination.
