Ex-BOJ’s Momma: Central bank to keep easy monetary policy ‘for many quarters to come’
|The Bank of Japan (BOJ) will continue with its current monetary easing program “for many quarters to come” to ensure economic recovery and pursue a still remote target of sustainable 2% inflation, Kazuo Momma, a former top official in charge of monetary policy at the central bank, said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Monday.
Momma said, “there’s a good case for the BOJ to be sticking to the current yield curve control for the rest of this year or even after that.”
