Srsly, the BOJ will deploy monetary policy tools if anyone in Japan sneezes.
Anyway … more:
BOJ will learn from the lessons of Japan's asset-inflated bubble economy in the late 1980s
- "One of the factors that led to Japan's asset-inflated bubble was the fact we kept monetary policy easy even as the economy continued to expand," Amamiya said in parliament. "The BOJ must be mindful of the potential risks to the economy and prices, including financial imbalances"
- "In terms of monetary policy, we're ready to respond if financial problems have a big impact on the economy."
