Speaking in parliament, Takaichi said; "I have been repeatedly criticized for 'Takaichi's weak yen' and 'Takaichi's high interest rates,' but I clearly deny that," according to a Reuters translation of her remarks in Japanese.

Takaichi also said that her administration will increase confidence in the yen by building a strong economy.
