According to CoinMeta, on Saturday, the Japanese Ministry of Finance posted on social media that the Japanese monetary authorities have a range of tools at their disposal to meet market liquidity needs. These tools include the discretionary use of the Federal Reserve's "Foreign and International Monetary Authorities (FIMA)" standing repurchase facility, which allows for the acceptance of U.S. Treasury bonds as collateral to provide temporary dollar liquidity. The Japanese Ministry of Finance stated, "We are ready to employ available tools whenever necessary to support the orderly functioning of the market."
