BOJ Gov Kuroda speaking from an appearance in parliament

Nothing new from him so far (and based on history, there is unlikely to be)

  • Japan's economy is expanding moderately
  • downside risk centred on overseas economies

More;

  • economy sustaining moment for inflation to hit 2pct but that momentum lacks strength

(huh?)
