TOKYO, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said on Friday Tokyo "won't rule out any options" to counter the yen's weakness, including potential intervention coordinated with Washington.
Speaking at a regular news conference, Katayama said the joint statement signed by the Japanese and U.S. finance ministers last September "was extremely significant and included language on intervention".
"It does not specify whether such intervention would be coordinated or not, so we consider that no options are excluded," she said.
