Japan finance minister Kato
- Planning to attend spring meetings of IMF, World Bank in Washington
- Forex rates should be determined by markets
- Excessive volatility would negatively affect economic and financial stability
- Have agreed with Bessent to closely communicate on forex
- Closely monitoring financial markets as they have been unstable recently
Kato gets a bit of extra bang for buck from his comments if he manages to conjure up some sort of cooperation with Bessent.
