BOJ Governor nominee Ueda's comments at parliamentary hearing – by fx_ross BOJ USDJPY Currencies
Following are excerpts from Ueda's comments, in Japanese, as translated by Reuters: . Japan's economy is recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. But uncertainty regarding the economy, prices and markets is extremely high. Consumer inflation is at 4%, above the Bank of Japan's target, but the rise is driven mostly by rising import prices. The rise is not driven by strong demand.
Japan's trend inflation is likely to rise gradually. But it will take some time for inflation to sustainably and stably achieve the BOJ's 2% target.
