BOJ’S UEDA: THE FOCUS WILL NOW BE ON “A QUIET EXIT”
In an interview with the Yomiuri Shimbun over the weekend, Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda explained the monetary policy tweak in July as “a mechanism to change the balance between the effects and side effects” of monetary easing measures.
The focus will now be on “a quiet exit,” which the BOJ is seeking to avoid a significant impact on the market, Ueda added.
