财务大臣片山冈子呼吁二十国集团政策制定者密切监测金融市场，她在日本货币面临新压力、全球债券近几周出现抛售的背景下发表了此番言论。
Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama has called for Group of 20 policymakers to closely monitor financial markets, speaking against a backdrop of renewed pressure on Japan’s currency and a selloff in bonds around the world in recent weeks.“We reaffirmed our existing commitments on foreign exchange at the Group of 20 and other meetings,” Katayama told reporters Thursday after meetings in Bangkok with finance chiefs and central bankers from key developed and emerging markets.
“我们在二十国集团及其他会议上重申了对外汇的既有承诺，”片山周四在曼谷与主要发达国家和新兴市场的财政负责人及央行行长会晤后对记者表示。“我在那里强调了以高度紧迫感监测金融市场的必要性。”
“I stressed the need to monitor financial markets with a high sense of urgency there.”
当天早些时候，片山警告投机者称，若有必要，日本准备再次在货币市场采取行动，此前日元对美元汇率本月跌至低点——此乃美国通胀数据高于预期所致。
Earlier in the day, Katayama warned speculators that Japan was prepared to take action in the currency market again if necessary, after the yen weakened to its lowest level against the dollar this month — following hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data.
她还表示，自七月份华盛顿与东京联合干预以支撑日元以来，双方的立场并未发生变化。
She also said there’s been no change in the stance of Washington and Tokyo since their joint intervention to prop up the yen in July.
