Eisuke Sakakibara
His moniker “Mr. Yen” was crafted when he became Vice Minister of Finance and was responsible for the intervention policies which the Japanese government had to embark on at the time. Regularly jawboning the Japanese currency and attracting the attention of FX market traders, in July Mr. Sakakibara will be attending the most important Forex industry event on the Japanese foreign exchange market scene.
Eisuke Sakakibara, "Mr. Yen"
Mr. Sakakibara has been particularly notorious for being responsible for the intervention operations by the Japanese Ministry of Finance back in the 90s. Mr Yen’s tactics were distinctly different from those used by his predecessors and quite effective too. He preferred volume to frequency, hence during his time in office at the Ministry of Finance he managed to change the market’s mind several times to alleviate alleged mismatches between fundamentals and traders’ market sentiment and deliver the results desired by Japanese authorities.
Mr. Yen's financial celebrity nickname forcefully convinced spooked FX traders into driving the Japanese yen lower at the time. In a way, Mr. Sakakibara was the pioneer of the most sophisticated currency intervention effort which the currency markets had seen until then. The Japanese Ministry of Finance certainly left its footprint on the minds and the nerves of FX traders at the time, and Mr. Yen’s efforts have been mentioned by foreign exchange market participants over the past years.
