BOJ governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, remarks in his press conference

  • Pandemic is still having big negative impact on the economy
  • It will take a while for the pandemic to subside
  • Inflation expectations are moving sideways
  • Expects core inflation to move around 0% in the near-term

Some token remarks so far by Kuroda and I wouldn't expect anything material to follow given that the BOJ meeting was a rather non-event.
