BOJ's Kuroda plays down Yen strength
Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kuroda is not particularly worried about Yen strength.
Key quotes
- Do not see Yen rise in particular as Dollar falls stem from Euro strength.
- Sees no difficulty in conducting JGB (Japanese Government Bonds) market ops.
- Day-to-day JGB operations do not indicate future course of monetary policy as the size of bond purchase changes depending on the market.
