BoJ deputy gov nominee Uchida: Changing 2% inflation target is unthinkable
|The Bank of Japan's deputy gov nominee Uchida is crossing the wires and has stated that changing 2% inflation target is unthinkable.
Key comments
Will firmly continue monetary easing to lay ground for companies to raise wages.
Too early to seek exit from monetary stimulus now.Interest rate, balance sheet adjustment are keys to exit from easy policy.
In what order boj will adjust interest rates, balance sheet will depend on economic conditions at the time.
It is not as if boj has an exit strategy written in paper.
Must be able to exit from easy policy whatever the economic situation could be based on experience guiding easy policy, dealing with market forces.
See no immediate need to revise govt-boj joint statement.
