TOKYO, March 2 (Reuters) - Bank of Japan (BOJ) board member Hajime Takata said on Thursday the central bank must "patiently" maintain ultra-loose monetary policy, as the economy has yet to foresee inflation sustainably hitting its 2% target backed by wage hikes. In a speech, Takata also said the BOJ will scrutinise market developments to ensure bond yield moves are stable, and take into account the impact on market function in guiding monetary policy.
