I'm not sure which event/venue Kuroda is speaking at.

Headlines via Reuters:

  • Japan's economy is likely to recover
  • Japan's inflation to clearly accelerate due to sharp rise in energy prices, dissipating effects of cellphone fee cuts
  • impact of Ukraine crisis on Japan's economy is extremely uncertain
  • expected rise in inflation driven by increase in import costs, which could hurt Japan's economy via decline in household income, corporate profits

  • BOJ will maintain powerful monetary easing to support economy still in the midst of recovering from pandemic hit

  • BOJ will strive to ensure market stability through ample liquidity provision

USD/JPY is not doing a real lot in response:
