BoJ’s Nishimura: Central Banks Can Now Apply Conventional Means More Effectively
(RTTNews) - Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Kiyohiko Nishimura said ending unconventional measures is not a sign of a change in the central banks’ stance. “Rather, this is the sign that central banks can now use conventional means more effectively to pursue current monetary policy,” Nishimura said in global financial conference in Florida on November 2.
He said, “As the immediate threat subsides and the hurricane shelters are removed, nobody assumes that that is the end of public efforts to rebuild the devastated community. This is exactly the same for central banks’ unconventional measures.”
Further, he said unconventional measures should be explicitly temporary and the wind-down shall be carefully arranged, in some cases step by step, to avoid possible transitional problems as much as possible.
