BOCA RATON, Fla. (Kyodo) For Japan, the meeting here of Group of Seven finance chiefs concluded with only half of its goals met.
While its concerns over the dollar's fall against the yen were partly addressed in the two-day talks, hopes that its G7 peers would sanction its policy of intervening in the currency market were all but dashed.
The finance ministers and central bank governors of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States met as the broad-based decline in the dollar triggered concerns that it would hurt growth in Japan and Europe.
