Japanese Minister of Finance Katayama Satsuki: Hope the market calms down.

We take a responsible attitude towards public finance.

We have not implemented excessively loose fiscal policies.

The reduction of the sales tax will not require the issuance of bonds.

We will engage in dialogue with the Bank of Japan and many other parties to restore market confidence
