Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said the central bank did not have a set time frame for achieving its 2% inflation target due to uncertainty over the price outlook.
Ueda's approach contrasts with that of his predecessor Haruhiko Kuroda, who deployed in 2013 a massive asset-buying programme to hit 2% inflation in roughly two years.
"Having said that, our baseline view is that it won't take so long as over 10 years. We'll still seek to hit the target at the earliest date possible," he told parliament. With inflation exceeding its 2% target for a year, market speculation is rife that Ueda will gradually phase out Kuroda's stimulus that has drawn public criticism for distorting markets and crushing bank margins.

Typhoon Mawar losing strength as it heads toward Japan's Okinawa IslandsTyphoon Mawar appears to be losing force as it heads toward Japan’s Okinawa Islands, after largely skirting Taiwan and the Philippines. Philippine meteorological authorities say Mawar’s strength has dropped, with sustained winds now of 96 mph and gusts of up to 118 mph. Mawar is expected to gradually pick up speed but steadily weaken and may be downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it is predicted to hit the area on Friday. The U.S. military, which has some 20,000 troops stationed on multiple facilities on Okinawa islands, says it will take preparatory action as the storm draws closer. Residents on Japan’s southern Sakishima islands were already preparing for the typhoon when a warning siren woke them up to alert them of a North Korean rocket launch.
