Yes folks he's still going and now into the Q&A

  • no change in stance, will ease if necessary to achieve inflation target
  • don't look at just core CPI for price trend, look at various indicators

Nothing we don't already know and USDJPY unimpressed at 119.95

  • Japan no longer in deflation
  • still halfway to meeting 2% inflation target
  • not targeting fx rate
  • desirable for fx to reflect economic fundamentals
  • fx should be determined by the market
  • US is recovering steadily
  • no chance BOJ will consider cutting excess reserve rate

He's done now.
