Japan ready to take action if needed

A strong JPY has a significant impact on Japanese exports, says Finance Minister Azumi.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

Finance Minister Azumi said that a strong JPY has a significant impact on Japanese exports and that the government is ready to act to take action if needed. Note that BOJ Shirakawa was reported to have an unscheduled meeting with PM Noda this morning.

Last week, Shirakawa has also expressed concerns that a strong JPY would affect export growth this year but reiterated that the domestic economy remains stable at this juncture.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
