Japan's foreign reserves fell by a record to $1.238 trillion at the end of September as a result of the government's dollar-selling intervention during the month to arrest a sharp decline in the yen. The amount compared with $1.409 trillion seen a year ago. Japanese households increased spending in August compared with a year earlier as the economy continued to recover from COVID-19 restrictions, but rising prices are clouding the outlook for further gains. Household spending rose 5.1% in August from a year earlier
