To prevent Russia from circumventing Western financial sanctions, Japan plans  to amend its foreign exchange laws  and sets graze at “crypto-asset exchanges like banks.”

This was revealed to Reuters Reporters today by Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno.

He stated that the government will submit a reform of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act to the current parliament session to improve protections against potential sanction-busting by Russia through digital assets.

Japanese government imposed asset freezes on over 100 Russian officials, oligarchs, banks, and other institutions. Japan has also imposed a restriction on high-tech exports and removed Russia’s most-favored-nation trade status.

What they are saying

Following last week’s G7 summit in Belgium, Prime Minister Fumo Kishida urged for the law to be revised in a Monday parliament session, stressing the importance of synchronized steps with Western partners.

Saisuke Sakai, senior economist at Mizuho Research and Technologies stated that the  amendment “presumably enables the government to apply the law to crypto- asset exchanges like banks and oblige them to scrutinise whether their clients are Russian sanction targets,”.

Japan’s financial regulatory agency demanded earlier this month that approximately 30 crypto exchanges in the country refrain from conducting asset transactions with penalty targets.

According to economist Sakai, Kishida’s government likely devised the legislation revision plan in light of the harsher constraints imposed by Western authorities on the issue, as well as strong public support in Japan for sanctions against Russia.

A finance ministry official told Reuters discussions were under way about the proposed amendment, saying he could not provide further details.

What you should know

On Monday morning, the Japanese yen resumed its downward trend as the Bank of Japan intervened in the market to protect its implied yield cap.

The yen dropped to 122.78 per dollar, its lowest level since December 2015, giving up a small gain made on Friday when the Bank of Japan did not intervene to protect its objective.

For the second time this year, the Bank of Japan promised to buy an unlimited number of 10-year Japanese government bonds (JGBs) at 0.25 percent, wading into the market to protect its implicit yield cap.

The move occurred as the 10-year JGB yield climbed to a six-year high of 0.245 percent in early trade, falling barely half a basis point short of the BOJ’s yield curve control tolerance ceiling.

The offer, which will be carried out on Tuesday, pushed the dollar to a more than six-year high of 123.03 yen as investors concentrated on the likelihood of increasing interest rate differentials between the United States and Japan.
