Interview with Bank of Japan's Fukui
According to the interview, Fukui says he is uncertain whether a difference between those who voted for keeping rates steady and those who wanted them to rise would narrow soon.
"An interest rate level that more closely reflects the real state of the economy would stimulate reallocation of resources, promote innovation and reinforce the economy's positive cycle."
"Holding discussions at the policy board is like entering the cockpit of a plane. The plane can swerve from its course if we consider factors other than economic and price conditions."
