'Așa ceva nu s-a mai întâmplat niciodată' - BCE, luată prin surprindere de intervenția SUA pe piața valutară: europenii au fost informați abia după operațiune

The recent sale of euros by the U.S. to support the yen surprised the European Central Bank, which was informed only after the intervention. This unprecedented action raised concerns about the long-standing cooperation between Western monetary authorities. U.S. officials chose to sell euros instead of dollars to avoid weakening the dollar's value. Japan reportedly spent billions to stabilize the yen, which saw fluctuations following the interventions.
