Meetings with Japan’s PM, finance minister, and BOJ governor may address currency policy and economic coordination.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent will meet separately on Tuesday with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama, and Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda. The discussions are expected to cover economic policies, currency stability, and bilateral financial coordination amid global market uncertainties.
Japan remains a key focus for US economic diplomacy, particularly regarding yen volatility and monetary policy alignment. Recent meetings between US and Japanese officials have emphasized cooperation on exchange rates and inflation management. The BOJ’s stance on interest rates and bond purchases may also be discussed.
Markets will watch for any signals on currency intervention or joint policy responses to global economic shifts.
