TOKYO, March 2 (Reuters) - Bank of Japan (BOJ) board member Hajime Takata said on Thursday he did not see a need now to take additional steps to iron out market distortion caused by the bank's massive bond-buying. But he told a news conference the BOJ must "always" scrutinise side-effects of prolonged monetary easing and stand ready to respond as needed.
