BOJ deputy governor nominee Amamiya with more comments

  • Need to patiently continue current powerful monetary easing
  • There is still a distance to 2% inflation target
  • Targeting a 2% level of inflation helps to stabilise FX market in the long-run
  • Important to conduct appropriate monetary policy under current join statement between BOJ and the government

Is this Kuroda or Amamiya? Feels like they're both one in the same at this point. Or maybe Amamiya really did steal a copy of Kuroda's speech.

Anyway, still nothing new from Mr BOJ. The latest comments here are exactly that of BOJ governor Kuroda's yesterday - in case you didn't get the hint.
