Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Monday that the excessive foreign exchange (FX) moves seen recently were undesirable and reiterated that they were not targeting the FX market, as reported by Reuters.
"It's important to back the economic activity with powerful monetary easing," Kuroda added. "It will take time for sustainable, stable inflation to take hold in Japan."
