BOJ 2% inflation goal 'reasonable' for Ueda to keep: ex-N.Y. Fed chief
Quick Glance: BOJ 2% inflation target "reasonable" for Ueda to maintain: ex-New York Fed chief
  • Former Federal Reserve Bank of New York President Kazuo Ueda takes over for predecessor Haruhiko Kuroda, and argues that he should stick to his target of sustained 2% inflation.

  • Despite annual price increases of more than 4%, Japan has seen "no meaningful acceleration in wages in recent years despite a tight labor market," according to William Dudley of Nikkei, noting that such wage growth is usually required for stable inflation.

  • "Now the BOJ is trying to confirm that the [current] inflation will lead to higher inflation expectations and higher wages."

Quick Glance: The Bank of Japan maintains ultra-low interest rates during Kuroda's final policy meeting | The Asahi Shimbun: Breaking News, Japan News, and Analysis
  • On Friday, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) maintained ultra-low interest rates while deferring revisions to its contentious bond yield control policy, leaving alternatives open ahead of an April leadership shift.

  • "The BOJ will likely abandon its 10-year bond yield target, while maintaining negative interest rates, to arrest distortions in the yield curve," he predicted.

  • It also kept a band set around the 10-year yield goal unchanged, allowing the yield to rise up to 0.5%.

  • The BOJ reiterated its belief that Japan's economy will revive.
