Bank of Japan’s Kuroda Signals Readiness to Ease More to G-7 Peers

Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda emphasized his intention to ease policy further if necessary to his Group of Seven counterparts on Tuesday as the coronavirus pushes the global economy sharply into reverse.

The pandemic is making the outlook for the global economy extremely uncertain, Kuroda told reporters in Tokyo after explaining the BOJ’s policy response during a video meeting of G-7 finance ministers and central bankers.
