Japan's central bank must work together to prevent yen fall

TOKYO, Sept 23 Reuters - The Central Bank and the Government of Japan must closely work together to prevent triggering an unwelcome yen fall caused by a loss of market trust over the country's finances, said Taro Kono, a key contender in the ruling party leadership race, on Thursday.

If market trust over Japan's finances is also lost that could trigger a yen decline, said Kono. If yen falls proceed, import costs would rise and cause inflation, he said in an online debate among the candidates in the race.
