A sharp weakening of the yen may prompt the Bank of Japan (BOJ) to take action, as the BOJ stated in a report that it will continue to raise interest rates based on economic, price, and financial conditions.

In the report, the BOJ stated that foreign exchange rates are increasingly likely to influence prices, and such volatility could affect underlying inflation by altering inflation expectations. The BOJ does not directly target the yen, but if a significant depreciation of the yen accelerates price increases, the central bank may adjust its policy. (Jinshi)
