AAPC Statement on Japan’s Devaluation of the Yen


WASHINGTON, D.C. – American Automotive Policy Council President Matt Blunt today commented on the recent changes in Japan’s monetary policy enacted by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) as TPP negotiators and leaders prepare to meet at the APEC Summit.

"The Bank of Japan has undertaken an unprecedentedly large monetary policy change that must be addressed immediately and forcefully by the Administration. The Bank of Japan’s action is extreme in size and designed to devalue its currency to gain an unfair competitive advantage globally.”
