BoJ Deputy Governor Masayoshi Amamiya said, “the BOJ will continue to support the economy with monetary easing to achieve its inflation target in a sustained, stable manner accompanied by wage rises.”
Amamiya also said the economy is picking up as a trend, but it’s facing “extremely high” uncertainty”. “Against this background, we must closely watch the impact financial and currency market moves could have on Japan’s economy and price,” he added.
