BOJ governor Kuroda speaking to economists at a year-end gathering

  • Will guide monetary policy appropriately reflecting state of the economy
  • Hope Japan's economy remains stable, and that prices and wages rise gradually in 2018
  • Flexible mindset becomes increasingly important in guiding monetary policy

Nothing else from Kuroda it seems. Some general comments, not one that touches on the details of monetary policy. Guess he didn't want to be a party pooper.
