Bank of Japan executive director Eiji Maeda speaks in parliament

  • Still a distance from price target
  • BOJ isn't at a point where it can consider exit
  • ETF purchases have played a key role to lower risk premium

Maeda is currently in charge of international affairs at the central bank, but they are planning to move him to take over newly appointed BOJ deputy governor Amamiya's old post - which is the task of monetary policy planning.

I haven't read any official announcements on that yet, but it looks like it's a matter of time until it happens.

To what he's saying here, pretty much the same old stuff from the BOJ. Nothing new.
