Speaking at the post-policy meeting press conference on Friday, Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda said that the Bank “will analyze the impact of whether Yen's strengthening since August will impact prices by the same degree as previous Yen weakness had on prices.”
The BoJ left the benchmark interest rate at 0.15%-0.25% following its September policy meeting.
