TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Friday he explained to U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen that recent yen falls were sharp.

“The government has said rapid currency moves were undesirable. What we’re seeing now with the yen are rapid moves, so we’ll monitor moves closely with a sense of urgency,” Suzuki told reporters after his meeting with Yellen.
