急激な円安「好ましくない」　黒田日銀総裁、岸田首相と会談

　日銀の黒田東彦総裁は９日、岸田文雄首相を首相官邸に訪ね、円安が進む外国為替市場の動向や国内外の経済情勢などについて意見交換した。黒田総裁は会談後、記者団に対し「急激な為替の変動は企業経営を不安定にし、将来の不確実性を高めるので好ましくない」と述べ、円安の急速な進行に懸念を示した。
　黒田総裁は、最近の円安に関し「１日に２円も３円も動くのは急激だ」と指摘し、為替相場は経済のファンダメンタルズ（基礎的条件）を反映し、安定的に推移するのが望ましいとの考えを示した。為替動向を「今後とも注視していく」と語った。首相から日銀に対し、特に指示や要望はなかったという。

Rapid fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are "unfavorable as they make corporate management unstable and raise future uncertainty," Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said Friday, expressing concern over the yen's recent fast depreciation.
   Kuroda made the remarks to reporters after exchanging opinions with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida the same day on recent currency market developments and the economic situations in Japan and abroad.
   The dollar's fluctuations of as much as 1, 2 and 3 yen in a day, are "rapid," Kuroda said, suggesting that it is desirable for exchange rates to move stably reflecting economic fundamentals.
   The central bank will continue to "pay close attention" to the currency market situation, Kuroda said, while noting that Kishida did not give any instructions or make any request to the BOJ at the meeting, held at the prime minister's office.
   After the remarks by Kuroda reached the Tokyo currency market, the dollar briefly gave up nearly 0.5 yen to fall below 143.50 yen.
