The Bank of Japan will do ‘whatever it can’ to beat pandemic fallout, governor says
Reuters reports that Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Tuesday the central bank would do "whatever it can" to combat the growing fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, warning that a collapse in global activity would hamstring the economy.
In a semi-annual testimony to parliament, Kuroda said the raft of monetary easing steps the central bank has taken so far is helping ease corporate funding strains and market jitters.
But he warned the outlook for Japan's economy was "highly uncertain" and dependent on when the pandemic is contained, with risks skewed to the downside.
"Japan's economy is in an increasingly severe state. The outlook will remain severe for the time being," he said.
"What's most important for us is to take steps to smoothen corporate financing and stabilise markets," Kuroda added. "We will do whatever we can as a central bank, working closely with the government."
