BOJ board member Ishida speaking in Fukuoka
- Japan's labour market tightening
- Should look at price trend stripping away effect of energy costs
- Hard to measure inflation expectations
- Shouldn't worry too much about negative impact of oil price falls
- Expect overseas economic growth to gradually heighten ahead
- Expect economy to expand moderately as a trend
- Expect capex to continue increasing moderately
- Exports may undershoot expectations due to expected slowdown in emerging market growth
Not sounding like a dude who wants tt further ease policy any time soon
More:
- Must be mindful of risk that global market turbulence, if persists, may affect household, business sentiment
- Chinese authorities likely have sufficient room to deploy fiscal, monetary stimulus steps
- BOJ will maintain accomodative monetary environment so corporate profits lead to higher wages, increase in consumption
More again:
- US will delay raising rates if economy is weak
- Drop in oil prices overall a large positive
- No need to worry overly about drop in oil prices
- Prices will approach 2% in fiscal 2017
