BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said today, at the annual meeting of Keidanren, “while continuing to carefully examine various risks, the BOJ will not hesitate to take additional easing measures if there is a greater possibility that the momentum toward achieving the price stability target will be lost.”
He acknowledged that “uncertainties over the global economy, including developments in U.S.-China trade negotiations, have eased somewhat. But he also warned, “the BOJ considers that downside risks regarding the outlook for the global economy remain significant.”
