TOKYO – This month, the Japanese yen’s exchange rate against the US dollar fell below ¥125, a 13-year low, before rebounding to nearly ¥122 following a statement by Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda that he did not expect further depreciation. But, as Kuroda later clarified, Japan’s monetary policymakers do not seek to predict, much less control, exchange-rate movements.
东京—本月，日元兑美元汇率跌至125以下，创出13年来新低，随后，日本银行行长黑田东彦表示预计日元不会继续贬值，日元也随之反弹至122附近。但是，黑田随后澄清，日本货币决策者不会预测，更不会控制汇率波动。相反，日本银行的目标——与任何高效央行一样——是确保合理的就业和通胀组合。
