Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda had lunch with Japanese PM Abe today

Deep fried pensioner was apparently on the menu, but I digress.

Kuroda now speaking with the press:

  • Discussed the domestic and overseas economic developments, and Bank of Japan comprehensive review with PM Abe
  • Did not discuss buying foreign bonds
  • No special instructions from Abe, Abe didn't say anything particular on monetary policy
  • Meeting was part of regular meetings with PM
