Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi clarified her comments on the yen's depreciation on Sunday, emphasizing that she was merely advocating for an economic system resilient to exchange rate fluctuations. "I didn't say a stronger yen is good, or a weaker yen is bad," Takaichi posted on her social media platform X. "What I meant was the desire to build a strong economic structure that can withstand exchange rate fluctuations." Takaichi was clarifying her remarks made on Saturday while campaigning for Liberal Democratic Party candidate Taishiro Yamagiwa in Kanagawa Prefecture. At that time, she stated, "While people are saying a weaker yen is bad, it's actually a huge opportunity for export industries." She added that the yen's depreciation also provides a buffer for the auto industry in dealing with US tariffs, offering "very significant" help. (Jinshi)
