RTRS: Japan Fujii: yen should reflect economic conditions
TOKYO, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Finance Minister Hirohisa Fujii said on Friday that the yen's exchange rates should reflect economic conditions, adding that he should not comment on currency rates as a member of the government.
"It would be hard for me if I answer such a leading question and get labelled as approving a strong yen," Fujii told reporters, when asked whether a strong yen may benefit the Democrats' aim to boost people's purchasing power.
