BOJ's Kuroda in parliament:
- Monetary policy alone cannot solve Japan's economic problems
- Technically possible to push interest rates deeper into negative territory
- It's true bank notes in circulation have been on the rise in japan but don't see shift in trend since adoption of negative rate policy
Also, from Japan finance minister Aso:
- Will raise sales tax unless a shock on level of Lehman Bros.
- No difference with PM Abe on raising sales tax
