Ueda added that the likelihood of achieving the 2% inflation target is rising gradually, while saying that they must continue to carefully watch financial and foreign exchange market moves and the impact on prices and the economy.
He further reiterated that they won't hesitate to take additional easing measures if necessary and noted that they will be closely watching the outcome of spring wage negotiations.
