Nah, course not. A mere coincidence
- some business people have said rate is problematic
That will be Toyota yesterday amongst others
- policy mandate is to achieve 2% inflation in a gradually sustained manner
- BOJ can hold policy steady now but does not rule out further action in the future
- must act if path towards hitting price target is clearly disrupted
- probability of further easing is low based on my outlook
- not in a position to talk of the positives/negatives of weak yen
- household sentiment is improving
Speaking to reporters. Nothing new here USDJPY 123.84
- on the whole weak yen has had positive effects
So much for the "no comment" comment then
Eamonn had this from him earlier
