TOKYO, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Bank of Japan Governor
Haruhiko Kuroda said on Tuesday wage growth will likely
accelerate as companies increase pay to compensate households
for the higher cost of living, and cope with an intensifying
labour shortage.
Speaking in parliament, Kuroda also said the central bank
will continue to scrutinise currency market moves and their
impact on Japan's economy in guiding monetary policy.
