TOKYO (Reuters) – Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda on Monday reiterated the central bank’s resolve to maintain its massive stimulus program until 2 percent inflation is achieved stably.
“Japan’s financial system remains stable and monetary conditions are very accommodative,” Kuroda said in a speech at a quarterly meeting of the bank’s regional branch managers.
“The BOJ will maintain its stance of expanding monetary base until inflation stably overshoots 2 percent,” he said.
