Finance Minister Suzuki said at a press conference after the cabinet meeting on the morning of the 26th, ''It's gone too far...'' He said it is important that the exchange rate remains stable, reflecting the fundamentals of the economy. The weaker yen will improve the profits of companies that export and expand overseas, it will increase import prices, which will increase the burden on companies and consumers, he said.
He said he would like to take appropriate measures against excessive movements without eliminating any means possible.
