Japan sticking with Kuroda will bring policy continuity

Tokyo

AS its global peers navigate back to normal monetary policy, the Bank of Japan looks set to stay the course for now, with Haruhiko Kuroda at the helm for another term.

Reports that Mr Kuroda will be joined by Masayoshi Amamiya and Etsuro Honda as deputy governors add weight to that view. But while analysts agree that Mr Kuroda's reappointment is likely to mean the BOJ's radical easing continues in the short term, many analysts still expect future adjustments as the central bank tries to navigate the road ahead.
