IMF Official Calls Japan FX Intervention Understandable
--------------
The International Monetary Fund is sympathetic to Japan’s views on the need for foreign exchange intervention to smooth out sharp market moves, a senior fund official said, presenting a view that could encourage authorities to again weigh in to stop the yen’s latest resurgence.

國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)第一副總裁利普頓稱，IMF對日本有關必要時應通過干預來平抑匯市劇烈波動的看法表示認同。他的這番表態可能會鼓勵日本當局再度入市干預以遏制日元的漲勢。
