- don’t think Japan economy is in a lull
- economic recovery is continuing but the pace has slowed
- don’t know when PM Kan and Shirakawa will meet – seems no-one does
- must look at economy to decide if new bond issuance is needed for any stimulus measures
- watching the currency market with ‘utmost interest’
- won’t comment on currency levels or on intervention
- in communication with G7 countries on currencies
