Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said it isn’t the time now to discuss revising an accord the government set with the Bank of Japan in 2013 that aimed to help achieve its 2% inflation target.
“It’s still too early as the new governor hasn’t been appointed yet,” Kishida said in an interview on BS TV Tokyo Sunday. He said he expects to work out whether to discuss it after a new governor is appointed, with Haruhiko Kuroda due to step down in April.
