BOJ gov Kuroda after the meeting I reported earlier 11 Jan

  • discussed global economy
  • Abe didn't have any specific requests re mon pol
  • talked widely on US economy with Abe
  • didn't specifically discuss Mr Trump
  • see US economy growing steadily

Both hoping for some more US Fed rate hikes no doubt.
