Japan Sees Unease Over Yen Spread as Lawmakers Flag Worry

Japanese lawmakers are flagging the need for discussion of an exit strategy to a monetary policy program that’s driving the yen lower and hurting parts of the economy.

“It could be important to get involved in this issue and the government should thoroughly examine it,” lawmaker Toshihiro Nikai said after a meeting of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s general council. One opinion that came up at the council meeting was that an exit strategy should be considered, Nikai said.
