According to Jin10, Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said on Friday that the government will continue to closely monitor exchange rates and price trends and take appropriate measures. She made the remarks in parliament while responding to an opposition lawmaker's question about Japan's economic policy and the possible impact of yen depreciation. She also said the government will consider a range of factors affecting the economy, including interest rates and changes in the yen exchange rate, when formulating fiscal policy. Takaichi had previously advocated loose fiscal and monetary policy, but is now facing pressure from the market to change course.
