BOJ dep gov Himino says will maintain easy policy until sustained stable 2% CPI achievedBank of Japan Deputy Governor Himino:
BOJ will patiently maintain easy policy until sustained, stable
achievement of price target is in sight- Japan's financial
system is likely resilient enough to weather stress from transition
to higher interest rates
If we do not get the timing exit procedures wrong, the impact of a
positive wage-inflation cycle will likely benefit wide range of
households, companies
Must make appropriate decision on exit timing, procedure by
scrutinising wage, inflation developments
BOJ must achieve
situation where inflation slows ahead, but not too much
Japan is seeing steadily changes in price, wage behaviour
Solid progress is observed in the transformation of firms' wage- and
price-setting behaviour
price rises beginning to affect
wages
pass-through from wages to inflation is also returning
somewhat
without virtuous cycle between wages and prices, japan
will most likely revert to the deflationary state in the past
USD/JPY is little changed around 147.25
