- Current policy is most appropriate one with uncertainty over its effect smallest
- Must monitor effect of current policy as taking extreme steps to quicken achievement of target could cause side-effects
- Taking additional monetary easing now would have more demerits than merits
- Must look at effects, costs from various perspective regarding BOJ's buying of risky assets, such as ETFs
- Not surprising if BOJ lags behind Federal Reserve , ECB in exiting ultra-easy policy
