Japan's Suga: stable forex market is important for government

Japan's top government spokesman said on Wednesday that stability in the foreign exchange market is very important and the government wants to closely monitor markets with a sense of urgency.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga spoke to reporters after the dollar fell to a seven-week low versus the yen due to speculation about the impact of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's economic policies and Britain's exit from the European Union.
