相場急変で連携確認　「世界的にリスク回避の見方」―政府・日銀

　財務省と金融庁、日銀は６日午後、国際金融資本市場に関する情報交換会合を財務省内で開き、株価や為替相場の急変動が続いていることなどについて協議した。終了後、財務省の三村淳財務官は記者団に対し、「政府と日銀が意思疎通を図りながら連携していくことを確認した」と強調した。会合は、外国為替市場で円安が加速した３月２７日以来。
　三村氏は株価や為替が乱高下した要因について言及を控えたが、「市場参加者には、海外景気の悪化懸念を背景に世界的に急速なリスク回避の動きがあったという見方もある」と指摘した。６日の会合には、三村氏のほか、金融庁の井藤英樹長官、日銀の加藤毅理事らが出席した。（2024/08/06-17:15）

Japan's Finance Ministry and Financial Services Agency and the Bank of Japan on Tuesday reaffirmed their cooperation in response to the current turbulent stock and currency markets.
   "The government and the BOJ confirmed that they will continue to communicate and cooperate," Atsushi Mimura, vice finance minister for international affairs, told reporters after the day's meeting of the three organizations.
   The three-way meeting was the first since March 27, when the yen's fall against the dollar accelerated.
   Financial markets have been tumultuous since the BOJ decided last week to raise its policy interest rate and the U.S. Federal Reserve also held a policy meeting in the week.
   Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 stock average logged a record loss of more than 4,400 points on Monday, and rebounded by more than 3,200 points on Tuesday, its largest single-day gain. Meanwhile, the dollar briefly sank below 142 yen on Monday, hitting a seven-month low.
