Bank of Japan Governor Ueda says Japanese inflation likely to slow, maintaining easing

Bank of Japan Governor Ueda says that he told the G7 that the BOJ will carry on with its monetary easing until the inflation target is reached stably and sustainably

  • said Japanese CPI is currently around 3% but that its likely to fall ahead
  • Bank of Japan should pay more attention to the risk of failing to achieve the 2% inflation target with a premature end to easing, rather than risk falling behind the curve on inflation

Ueda doesn't sound like a guy in a rush to trim back on easy policy.

Ueda the latest in a long, long line of central bankers saying inflation is transitory - will he get caught out like so many of them?

A bit of a choruse on 'transitory from European Central Bank officials Lane, Stournaras, and Knott.
