“For now, think it's important for major central banks to maintain 2% inflation target.”
Central banks must always look at whether there is any change in relations between economy and prices, what time-frame they should set in achieving their price targets.”
Excessive fall in long-term yields could hurt households' sentiment.”
“Biggest near-term risk is regarding COVID-19, so the most important thing for central banks is to smoothen corporate funding, ensure market stability.”
“When mulling further easing, BOJ must look not just at the effect but the side-effect of its policy steps.”
