BOJ governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, speaks in an online conference

  • Uncertainties surrounding the outlook remain extremely high
  • Economy likely to improve as a trend but pace of the recovery remains moderate
  • Risks are to the downside on the economy, inflation
  • Won't hesitate to take additional easing steps if necessary
  • Says that BOJ measures are having an impact

Just some token remarks an the usual mantra being recited by Kuroda. There isn't much else to say at this point as their policy options remain rather limited.
