Bank of Japan Gov. Kazuo Ueda has said he and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida held talks Tuesday on economic developments but did not discuss recent volatile currency moves.
The discussions took place in the wake of the dollar's recent ascent above ¥145, a level that in September 2022 triggered Japan's first yen-buying operation since 1998.
"There wasn't anything in particular discussed today," Ueda told reporters after the meeting, when asked whether the two held talks on recent exchange-rate volatility.
