TOKYO, March 20 (Reuters) - Bank of Japan (BOJ) board members saw the need to maintain ultra-loose monetary policy for now, even as some warned of the need to scrutinise its side-effects such as deteriorating market functions, a summary of opinions at their March policy meeting showed on Monday. "Japan's economy is showing signs of achieving a positive cycle. But any tweak to monetary policy must be examined and discussed carefully given the impact on markets and various economic entities," one of the members was quoted as saying in the summary.
