Earlier from Bank of Japan Governor Ueda:
And also finance minister Suzuki:
More from Ueda now, largely going over old ground:
- One of the biggest factors that affect market trust in yen is price stability
- Japan's consumer inflation likely to slow quite clearly in mid- to latter half of current fiscal year
- It's not time yet to debate specific exit strategy including possible sale of BOJ’s holdings of J-REIT
- BOJ is buying J-REIT as part of its massive monetary easing
- BOJ will maintain massive monetary easing as it will take more time to achieve our price target
Remember when we all (OK, not all of us) thought Ueda would be the new broom to sweep away BOJ ultra easy policy?
Yeah ... nah.
