- Uncertainties surrounding Japan’s economy, prices remain high
- Must pay due attention to financial markets and impact on the economy, prices
- Will keep adjusting degree of easing if outlook on economy, prices is to be realised
- Will monitor economic, market trends with extremely high sense of urgency

USD/JPY dipped to a low of 141.75 right as Ueda began speaking but has now raced back up to 142.50 on the day.

That said, I wouldn’t say they’re anything new really.
