Japan, BOJ must discuss relations when new central bank head is chosen, Kishida says By Reuters

TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Sunday the government and the central bank must discuss their relationship with each other in guiding economic policy, when a new Bank of Japan (BOJ) governor is chosen in April.

“In guiding monetary policy, policymakers must have a view on the outlook for the economy. There needs to be careful communication and dialogue with markets,” Kishida said in a television programme, when asked whether the BOJ needs to tweak it ultra-loose monetary policy.
