Tokyo (CNN Business) Japan tried to shore up the value of its currency Thursday by buying yen and selling US dollars for the first time in 24 years. The yen had earlier plunged to its lowest level since 1998 after the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates aggressively while the Bank of Japan kept its rates in negative territory in a bid to boost its fragile economic recovery. The currency has lost about 20% this year against a surging US dollar"In the current foreign exchange market, we are seeing rapid and one-sided movements against the backdrop of speculative activities," Japan's vice finance minister for international affairs Masato Kanda told reporters on Thursday. "The government is concerned about these excessive fluctuations and has just taken decisive action," he added. Thursday's decision marks the first time since 1998 that the Japanese government intervened in the foreign exchange market by buying yen.

The Bank of Japan has voted to keep interest rates ultra-low to support the country's fragile economic recovery. Japan intervened in the currency market on Thursday to shore up the battered yen for the first time since 1998, in the wake of the central bank's decision to maintain ultra-low interest rates that have been driving down the currency. The dollar extended its fall against the yen and was last down over 2% at 141.15 yen after confirmation of the intervention. We won't be raising interest rates for some time," BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda told a briefing after the policy decision. In a widely expected move, the BOJ maintained ultra-low interest rates at a two-day meeting that ended on Thursday and left unchanged a pledge to keep rates at "present or lower levels."

Japanese yen and U.S. dollar banknotes are seen with a currency exchange rate graph in this illustration picture taken June 16, 2022. The BOJ would rather wait for the outcome of companies’ annual wage negotiations next year before leaping to policy conclusions. That further widens the gap between American and Japanese benchmark bond yields – already well over 3 percentage points – which further hurts the yen.

Bond investors have already expressed scepticism towards the BOJ’s commitment to keeping the 10-year sovereign bond yield below 0.25%.
