WASHINGTON : Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said on Thursday he told his G20 counterparts the central bank will likely keep monetary policy ultra-loose to stably and sustainably achieve its 2 per cent inflation target.
"Core consumer inflation, which is now around 3 per cent, is likely to slow below 2 per cent towards the latter half of this fiscal year," Ueda told a news conference after attending the G20 finance leaders' gathering in Washington. Ueda also said the global economy is likely to recover after a period of slowdown, and help keep Japan's wages on an uptrend.
"The BOJ's forecasts already takes into account the chance of a global economic slowdown. But they don't see a severe global recession as a baseline projection," he said.
