Prefer XTB on Google

The conference call with Chairman Ueda on today's BoJ decision has just begun. Here are the most important comments made by the BoJ Chairman:

JAPAN'S ECONOMY IS RECOVERING AT A MODERATE PACE.
I EXPECT INFLATION TO SLOW DOWN IN 2025.
WILL PATIENTLY CONTINUE MONETARY EASING, OPTING FOR NEW MEASURES
WE ARE TO CAREFULLY MONITOR IF A WAGE-PRICE CYCLE TAKES HOLD.
IT'S APPROPRIATE TO IMPROVE THE FLEXIBILITY OF YCC.
WON'T HESITATE TO TAKE ADDITIONAL EASING MEASURES IF NECESSARY.
TODAY'S DECISION WAS AIMED AT MAKING THE YCC OPERATION MORE FLEXIBLE AMID EXTREME HIGH UNCERTAINTIES AROUND THE ECONOMY AND FINANCIAL MARKETS.
POSSIBLE TO CONDUCT ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY BOND-BUYING AT 10-YEAR YIELD LEVELS BELOW 1.0%.
DON'T THINK LONG-TERM RATES WILL COME UNDER PRESSURE TO EXCEED 1%.
TODAY'S STEPS CAME PARTLY AS RESULT OF RISING U.S. LONG-TERM RATES.
WE WANTED TO TWEAK YCC BEFORE SIDE EFFECTS INCREASED (CONSIDERED FX AS PART OF POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS).
