From boj.or.jp|Dec 25, 2022It is a great honor to have this opportunity to address such a distinguished gathering of business leaders in Japan today. The year is almost coming to a close. Looking back on 2022, domestic and overseas economies have been hit by various shocks, while the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has persisted. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered a rapid rise in prices of commodities, including energy and grains. In addition to this, factors such as supply-side constraints, including difficulties in procuring parts that ...
From @financialjuice|Dec 1, 2022|2 commentsBOJ'S GOVERNOR KURODA: JAPAN'S INFLATION WILL BEGIN TO SLOW IN 2023. BOJ'S GOVERNOR KURODA: WHILE THE RISK OF A SUDDEN LOSS OF CONFIDENCE AND AN ASIAN CRISIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SIGNIFICANT AT THIS TIME, POLICYMAKERS SHOULD NOT BE COMPLACENT.
BOJ Gov. Kuroda says inflation rates around the world are expected to slow gradually Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda: • Inflation rates around the world are expected to slow gradually and global growth will grow gradually. • Rate of global inflation in 2022 is expected to exceed that of 2021 then decline in 2023, a forecast that applies also to Japan. • As recent market turmoil in uk has shown, the reaction of market participants to policy decisions and announcements could significantly impact asset prices. His comment on declining inflation in 2023 in Japan is something he's said he is expecting in earlier statements. Not much new here at all.
From boj.or.jp|Sep 25, 2022It is my great pleasure to have the opportunity today to exchange views with a distinguished gathering of business leaders in the Kansai region. I would like to take this chance to express my sincerest gratitude for your cooperation with the activities of the Bank of Japan's branches in Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto. The last two meetings with business leaders in the Kansai region were held online due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. I am delighted to meet and exchange views with you in person for the first time in three years. At the outset, I will talk about developments in Japan's economic activity and prices and explain the Bank's thinking on the conduct of monetary policy. I. Economic Developments Let me start by talking about Japan's economic developments. The repeated waves of COVID-19 at home and abroad have affected Japan's economy through various channels. In the first half of the year, COVID-19 cases surged in China -- which strictly adheres to the so-called zero-COVID policy -- and major cities such as Shanghai went into lockdowns. In the manufacturing industry -- such as automobiles and machine tools, where Japan has a competitive advantage -- firms faced parts procurement difficulties and had to reduce production. Thereafter, the supply-side constraints caused by the lockdown in Shanghai have been dissipating due to the lifting of such restrictions. While parts shortages have remained for some goods, Japan's exports and production overall have continued to increase as a trend,
BOJ's Kuroda: Will maintain accommodative monetary conditions • Hopes to support positive economic cycle by maintaining monetary easing. • Expects Japan's consumption to increase moderately. • Economy is picking up, likely to continue recovering. One day, you get intervention. The next, you get this. It's baffling really. The BOJ will continue to have their work cut out for them if this is going to be the narrative moving forward. USD/JPY is already up another 0.6% to 144.20 on the day, as traders are slowly working their way back towards the 145.00 mark.

From fxstreet.com|May 25, 2022Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Wednesday that the global surge in inflation is among the current challenges being faced by central banks, reported Reuters. In Japan, he continued, pent-up household demand has been limited and the recovery of aggregate demand has been slower than in Europe and the US. Meanwhile, wages in Japan have risen, but the rate of increase has remained moderate. The appropriate monetary policy response to inflation will differ between countries, he continued, though a common challenge for each country is to determine the magnitude and persistence of inflationary pressures. Uncertainties over geopolitical risks are extremely high, Kuroda noted, and could put downwards pressure on the global economy by shrinking trade and damaging confidence. *KURODA: UNCERTAINTIES OVER GEOPOLITICAL RISK ARE EXTREMELY HIGH *KURODA: JAPAN'S RECOVERY IN DEMAND HAS BEEN SLOWER THAN US, EU
