Further Weakening Possibility Presses Yen

The Bank of Japan acknowledges that the reaching the inflation target until 2015 is a fairly ambitious goal. Still, the process is underway and starts brining fruit, the central bank assumes.


In particular, the bank expects the inflation target to be reached either in late 2014 or in early 2015, Mr. Kuroda stated during the EUROPLACE forum. He also confirmed the rumor that the BOJ would make changes to its monetary policy if needed.  At the same time, he underlined that the quantitative easing started in April 2013 has had a positive impact on the Japanese economy and financial markets ever since.
At the same time, during the November meeting, the Bank of Japan left its monetary policy unchanged, thereby leaving its economic estimation and forecast at a relatively high level.  The bottom line is that the central bank’s major goal is to get rid of the deflation that has been affecting the national economy over the last 15 years.
