TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s government will urge the central bank to aim at achieving its 2% inflation target in a “sustainable and stable fashion,” a draft of its long-term policy outline seen by Reuters showed on Wednesday.
That was a change from the wording of the current policy outline, which voices hope that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) maintains ultra-easy policy to achieve its 2% inflation target.
