Though the central bank had to spend some time in deeply to intervene into the market. Currency JPY strengthened against all major currencies, including the rise of more than 4% against the dollar. Escalation of inter-regional economic crisis led investors to enter into yen-based assets. Although the Japanese bond yields is one of the lowest in the world and a very large amount of government debt, foreign ownership in Japan's debt is now the highest since 2008. So far the government has been selling the yen, at least 14.3 trillion ($ 183 billion) to stem the strengthening of domestic currency. Policy interventions are needed that revenues are not eroded over time exporters. Finance ministers in June Azumi already far today confirmed that it is ready to enter the market again next year if conditions force. But no one can guarantee a series of interventions authority could produce different results than what is already applied in 2011. Government's job more difficult because more and more European debt crisis is far from complete. Difficult expect any surefire steps for the next year as Italy and Spain also need help. France in fact not free of the threat rating agencies downgrade. While the fragile banking crisis resulted in more severe, a high ratio of sectoral bankruptcy could trigger a split community euros.

The total sales of the Japanese currency until the end of November last recorded seven times greater than the major interventions in 2010, who was then at 2.1 trillion yen. JPY managed to make up for an average decrease every five days post-correction and perched 12% higher in December 23 compared to an average against the dollar in the last three years. Although protection has been repeatedly affirmed commitment to the exchange rate, nothing could wipe the appreciation of the yen over the global conditions remain poor. Similar to the Swiss Central Bank, the Japanese authorities would be confused by the extraordinary appreciation of local currency next year.
