Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda speaking in New York
- Says BOJ will continue QQE with negative rate for as long as needed to hit price target
- BOJ will examine risks to economy, prices and won't hesitate taking additional easing steps if needed to hit price goal
- BOJ will achieve price target 'for sure' by making full use of existing framework
- 3-tier system of negative rate framework means direct negative impact on financial institutions' profits is minimised
- What matters for economic activity is not nominal interest rate but real interest rate
- Both monetary policy and growth strategy are necessary to beat deflation
- Japan's economy has continued moderate recovery
- Underlying trend inflation has been steadily improving
- Compared to time before adoption of QQE, inflation expectations have increased on the whole
-
"This time for sure!"
