Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki warned that a weak yen could push up import prices and directly affect consumers and companies, and added that the Japanese government will take appropriate measures to mitigate the yen's negative trend impact on households.
Suzuki revealed that forex exchange moves are likely to be discussed in the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting that will take place on April 17-18 in Washington.
On Wednesday, the Japanese yen hit a 34-year low against the US dollar.
