More from BOJ’s Kuroda:

  • Weak yen has various positive effects on Japan’s economy
  • If weak yen is in like with fundamentals, benefits will outweigh demerits
  • Must be mindful that weak yen affects various entities in different ways and with a time lag
  • Will continue to monitor how fx, other market moves impact Japan economy
  • If weak yen is in line with fundamentals, benefits will outweigh demerits
  • QQE is prompting shift in investors’ funds to riskier assets, including overseas investment
  • Don’t see any limits to future policy options, including JGB purchases
  • Very hard for BOJ to respond with policy if trust in japan’s fiscal policy is lost
