TOKYO, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Bank of Japan (BOJ) board
member Naoki Tamura said on Wednesday the central bank must
maintain its ultra-loose monetary policy for now to scrutinise
whether higher wage growth will accompany the recent rise in
inflation.
But in a speech he said that the central bank must conduct
an assessment at some point of its monetary policy framework,
and the feasibility of its 2% inflation target, by weighing the
benefits of costs of the ultra-loose policy.
