WASHINGTON – Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said on Thursday he told his G20 counterparts the central bank would likely keep monetary policy ultra-loose to stably and sustainably achieve its 2- percent inflation target. 'Core consumer inflation, which is now around 3 percent, is likely to slow below 2 percent towards the latter half of this fiscal year,' Ueda told a news conference after attending the G20 finance leaders' gathering in Washington.
