Concern in Japan by the stronger yen since the Second World War

The dollar reached 75.95 yen changed by markets in New York, its lowest level since the Second World War.

"I worry that the yen’s strength has increased," Noda said before stating that the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan are very aware of the market to assess whether there are speculative interest in the strengthening of the yen.

Nippon Finance Minister exchanged "background information" with the G7 to discuss the growing concern that the yen dragged quoted uncertainty about developments in the global economy, particularly the United States and Europe.

Japan intervened on 4 August in the currency market to curb the rise of the yen, considered a safe haven, with a payment record that exceeded four trillion yen, 36,300 million euros.

In total, Japan has intervened three times in the foreign exchange market to depreciate the yen in the last year, whose rise hurts Japanese exporters by reducing their competitiveness and reduce their profits abroad when repatriated.
