TOKYO, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Japan's government hopes the
central bank guides monetary policy flexibly to help achieve
higher wages and sustained achievement of its 2% inflation
target, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said on
Thursday.
Matsuno made the comment at a regular news conference, when
asked whether the government's appointment of academic Kazuo
Ueda as new Bank of Japan (BOJ) governor could lead to a retreat
from former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's "Abenomics" stimulus
policies.
