Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Wednesday that it is most appropriate for the BOJ to maintain easy policy judging from current economic and price conditions.

“Increasing the flexibility of yield curve control policy is a future option should the achievement of 2% price target come in sight. But the BOJ now must support the economy with easy policy,” Kuroda told lawmakers.

When asked whether he intends to resign, Kuroda said he has no intention to resign.
