Kuroda Reiterates BoJ Committed To Fight Deflation


The Bank of Japan will do whatever necessary to overcome deflation, Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said Thursday.
Bond buying plan has been exerting its intended effects and Japan has been steadily moving toward overcoming deflation, Kuroda said at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
As the economy mired in deflation for the last 15 years, people's deflationary expectations became entrenched, he noted. Persistent deflation encouraged behavior to stay status quo, and this deprived Japan's economy of vitality.
Kuroda said the economy is on track and it would be premature to say anything about what additional measures the central bank could take if the economy falter.
