TOKYO (Reuters) – Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Monday the central bank’s top priority was to support the economy by maintaining its “powerful” monetary stimulus.
“Japan is absolutely not in a situation that warrants monetary tightening, as the economy is still in the midst of recovering from the pandemic’s impact,” Kuroda said in a speech.
