BOJ's Kuroda says that it takes some time to change deflationary mindset

And he's up now, BOJ governor Kuroda speaking at the upper house in parliament for his confirmation hearing

• Says that BOJ is keeping financial conditions very accomodative
• BOJ will work with the government to end deflation
• Puts priority on achieving 2% inflation target
• Inflation will reach 2% in around fiscal year 2019 is the board's consensus
• 2% inflation target is still very distant

According to Bloomberg, Kuroda is reading out a similar statement to the previous hearing here last week.

If that is the case, then there shouldn't be anything of note from Kuroda this time around. And it does make sense, I mean how much more boring different can things be?

Of course, if there are any surprising or new headlines, we'll be right on it.
