MARRAKECH, Morocco (Reuters) — The yen’s recent declines are driven by fundamentals and do not meet any of the considerations that would call for authorities to intervene in the currency market, a senior International Monetary Fund official said on Saturday.
“On the yen, our sense is that the exchange rate is driven pretty much by fundamentals. As long as interest rate differentials remain, the yen will continue to face pressure,” Sanjaya Panth, deputy director of the IMF’s Asia and Pacific Department, told reporters.
