BoJ's deputy governor Wakatabe: If economy worsens sharply, BoJ will obviously need to consider taking additional steps

  • Says timing of Japan’s economic recovery will be delayed
  • Sees heightening downside risk to his view that  progress in vaccination will help Japan’s economy recover
  • BoJ is prepared to ease further if necessary
  • What steps to take to support economy will depend on economic conditions at the time
  • Consumption stalling but not falling sharply 
  • Economy supported by exports, CAPEX
  • If rising input costs push up inflation expectations in short-term, that alone won't lead to sustained inflation in Japan
