BoJ’s Kuroda post-BIS meeting: There was debate on svb collapse mainly around impact on global markets
Having attended the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) meeting earlier this week, Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) outgoing Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said that “there was a debate on SVB collapse mainly around the impact on global markets.”
“Participants at BIS meetings appeared relieved to see us authorities act swiftly to contain the damage from the collapse of SVB,” he added.
On monetary policy, Kuroda said,
BoJ must maintain current monetary easing, but there will also likely be scope to consider steps to address side-effects of easy policy.
By maintaining current easy policy, it’s possible to sustainably, stably achieve our price target, accompanied by wage growth, while looking after side-effects of our policy.
