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

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
