BoJ's governor Kuroda: We are not considering stopping buying or transferring or selling ETFs - Nikkei Asia
BoJ will continue to take persistent stance when it comes to monetary easing, even after COVID-19 pandemic abates, until the goal of 2% inflation is reached
There is strong uncertainty regarding the impact of infections
We will continue our present measures of monetary easing, and help with companies' financing
If necessary, we are prepared to take additional easing measures without hesitation
There is a "considerable difference in the labor market" behind inflation gap with U.S. and Europe
Japan has maintained employment during COVID, so even if consumer demand returns, it will be able to respond immediately in terms of supply
Regarding the exit strategy from large-scale easing, including purchase of ETFs, he says that "it should be decided based on situation when the 2% [inflation] target approaches"
