Japan’s top currency official on Wednesday indicated he had no issue with growing market expectations over Bank of Japan interest-rate hikes, which this week helped send the yen to a four-month high.
“There is no gap with my view,” Atsushi Mimura, the vice finance minister for international affairs, said in reference to the market’s understanding of recent BOJ communications. Mimura was speaking to reporters in Cape Town, South Africa, on the sidelines of a meeting of Group of 20 finance chiefs and central bank representatives.
