Japan bought ¥5,918.5bn of yen on 29 April 2024
Source: Japan Ministry of Finance historical intervention file, read 3 Aug 2026. Note the two largest days, 31 Oct 2011 and 29 Apr 2024, point in opposite directions: 2011 was yen selling to weaken the currency, 2024 was yen buying to support it. The May 2026 total of ¥11.73trn is not shown because MOF has not yet released the daily split.
Japan's Ministry of Finance publishes the exact yen amount of every intervention, to the day, back to April 1991. The largest yen buying day on that record is ¥5,918.5bn on 29 April 2024. The BIS finds intervention works for under a month and little after.
