Japan PM Sanae Takaichi says stronger economy will reinforce trust in yen amid approval ratings slump

Japan PM Sanae Takaichi said stronger economic growth will reinforce trust in the yen.

Takaichi faces mounting pressure over rising living costs and falling approval ratings.

She stated the Bank of Japan holds jurisdiction over monetary policy but must work closely with the government.

Takaichi said exchange rates are set by markets and hard to gauge from specific factors.
