More comments by BOJ governor Kuroda at his presser following the BOJ monetary policy decision earlier in the day
- Good that jobless rate has dropped to 2.4%
- Surprised by the large drop in the previous month
- Vital to examine cost and benefits to judge policy limit
- Would be good if the governor and deputy governors vote the same way
And his presser ends for the day. Well, we didn't get our "Lord of the Rings" long speech today, but 1/3 of that is good enough after all the comments he made in the past week.
The unemployment rate figure he was referring to is the one here. And his final comment about the deputy governor feels like it's a hint that a certain someone is preferred for the job.
"Did you put in a good word for me in your speech today?"
