New: Japan MoF FX Intervention Tracker — every MoF yen FX intervention back to 1991 with JPY + USD estimates

What it does

This actor delivers a structured feed of Japan's Ministry of Finance (MoF) yen FX intervention disclosures — every USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, and GBP/JPY operation going back to 1991, including the 2022 and 2024 yen-defense episodes. Amounts are normalized in JPY with USD estimates and bilingual (Japanese/English) descriptions.

Who it's for

FX desks, macro PMs, and options-vol quants who need a clean, historical record of MoF intervention rather than reconstructing it from press releases and monthly PDFs.

Sample fields / output

  • operation date
  • currency pair
  • direction (yen buy / sell)
  • amount (JPY, normalized)
  • USD estimate
  • reporting period
  • bilingual description (JP / EN)

Example use cases

  • Backtest USD/JPY behavior around historical MoF intervention dates.
  • Build an alert for new intervention disclosures during yen-defense episodes.
  • Quantify cumulative intervention size across the 2022 and 2024 episodes for a macro note.
