TOKYO (Reuters) – Currency rates should move stably reflecting economic fundamentals, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said after meeting new Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on Wednesday.

Kuroda also said that while the yen had strengthened recently, he did not discuss anything in particular on exchange rates with Suga.

The meeting was Kuroda’s first with Suga since the latter became prime minister earlier this month.
