(Corrects to say inflation is "below", not "exceeding" in 2nd
paragraph)
TOKYO, April 24 (Reuters) - Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo
Ueda said on Monday the central bank's inflation forecasts must
be "quite strong and close to 2%" in the coming year to consider
tweaking yield curve control.
"At present, trend inflation is below 2% so we must maintain
monetary easing," Ueda told parliament. "But when trend
inflation is projected to reach 2%, the BOJ must normalise
monetary policy," he added.
