    Maeda: BoJ ready to use combinations of measures to ease further if needed

    Eiji Maeda, BoJ Executive Director of International Affairs, reiterated the central bank stands ready to ease monetary policy further if needed.

    He said in the Diet that “if the economy’s momentum for achieving our price target is threatened, we are ready to ease monetary policy as necessary”. And, “we’ll continue to take steps as needed, including a combination of them, with an eye on their effects and side-effects” on the financial system.
