Japan's Vice Finance Minister for International Affairs Haruhiko Kuroda
reiterated Wednesday that Japan has no intention of guiding FX rates.
He added that there is no change in Japan's FX policy. His comments
were underlined by comments from senior Ministry of Finance official
Zembei Mizoguchi who added rapid movements in FX markets are not
