- WE EXPECT CPI TO PICK UP AFTER DECELERATION.
- WE'RE NOT IN A SITUATION WHERE WE CAN SEE THE GOAL BEING MET YET.
- WON'T HESITATE TO TAKE ADDITIONAL EASING MEASURES IF NECESSARY.
- COMPANIES’ WAGE AND PRICE SETTING BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN MORE POSITIVE RECENTLY.
- WE HAVE YET TO FORESEE INFLATION ACHIEVING 2% IN A STABLE MANNER.
- I SAID IN THE YOMIURI INTERVIEW THAT WE NEED TO PATIENTLY CONTINUE OUR EASY POLICY.
- UNCERTAINTY IS QUITE HIGH OVER ECONOMIC AND PRICE OUTLOOK AS WELL AS CURRENCIES AND FINANCIAL MARKETS.
- WE CAN'T SAY WHEN POLICY MAY BE ADJUSTED.
- I CAN'T SAY WHEN WAGE RESULTS WILL BE CLEAR.
- WE HAVE PRIORITIZED MANAGING THE RISK OF ACTING TOO SOON.
- TODAY WE DISCUSSED THAT INFLATION'S RATE OF DECELERATION HAS BEEN SLOWER THAN IN THE JULY OUTLOOK REPORT.
- SEEING U.S. FED STANCE TO KEEP RATES HIGH
- THE US ECONOMY IS STRONGER THAN EXPECTED WHILE PARTS OF EUROPE AND CHINA ARE WEAK.
- WE ARE SEEING THE CONTINUED CONTRACTION IN JAPAN'S REAL WAGES WITH "CONCERN".
- We could consider ending yield curve control and modify negative interest rate policy
- But only when we judge that achievement of 2% inflation is in sight
- We are not in a situation now to decide on the order of change in policy tools
- WE STILL CANNOT IDENTIFY WHAT VARIABLE WOULD LEAD TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF 2% INFLATION AND THE END OF NEGATIVE INTEREST RATE POLICY.
- DISTANCE TO ENDING NEGATIVE RATES NOT CHANGED MUCH
- WE WANT TO ACHIEVE 2% INFLATION BY CARRYING ON EASY POLICY WITH HELP OF SOMEWHAT HIGH INFLATION RATE DRIVEN BY RISING IMPORT PRICES
