BoJ's Iwata: pace of BoJ's bond buying will fluctuate depending on how much is needed to achieve its yield target

  • BoJ is buying etf as part of its qqe programme, not targeting certain stock price level

  • Better to maintain BoJ's pledge to increase its jgb holding at 80 trln yen per year

  • BoJ can guide monetary policy more flexibly by maintaining the bond-buying pledge, removing it could cause unnecessary market turmoil

  • Don't need to change BoJ's inflation forecasts just from temporary fluctuations in oil prices

  • Oil prices may fluctuate but likely to move up as a trend

  • See little chance Japan's economy will worsen but if it does on big external shock, BoJ can top up stimulus
