I’m turning into KurodaLive …

Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda testifying before the Lower House Financial Affairs Committee on monetary policy. He is going to be there for a long time – from 2335 to 0455 GMT, but with a break from 0235-0355 GMT.

More comments from him (his earlier comments are here, here, here, here and here):

  • Does not see need for additional easing now
  • Won’t hesitate to take action if needed
  • Repeats its too early to discuss exit policy
  • Expects workers’ incomes will rise
