TOKYO, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko
Kuroda on Monday defended his decade-long stimulus programme,
saying there was "no better way" to aim at sustainably achieving
its 2% inflation target.
"With our monetary easing steps, we sought to stimulate
economic activity and tighten the labour market so that prices
and wages would rise more," Kuroda told paraliament.
"This was a necessary approach and one that is shared by
other central banks," he said.
