dire consequences if QQE side effects are ignored
- some see weak yen as side effect of easing
- need to think about reducing size of asset purchases
- shifting to policy targetting interest rates, rather than base money,could be future option in the long run
- QQE is not best suited for short-term fine tuning
- cutting interest paid on excess reserves at BOJ doesn't mesh with QQE programme
- cutting interest rate on excess reserves at BOJ could be future option if and when BOJ start to taper asset purchases
