If conditions are met, I think it is all right for the BOJ to make the decision (to end the policy).

In light of the criticism of the TSE both domestically and abroad, and the importance of the TSE to our capital markets, I hope the exchange returns to normal trading hours soon.

The TSE is linked with stock markets around the globe. It is extremely regrettable that a computer system breakdown is halting trading.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange must be an open market with credibility for the world that stock prices are fair and investors are safe.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange should recognize that an exchange that is not capable of trading, may not be worth keeping in existence.

A stock exchange that can't carry on trading simply doesn't deserve to exist. The exchange should make it a top priority to bring business back to normal.

There has to be some predictability in monetary policy for the sake of everyone's economic activities.

Under the BOJ Law, the central bank is by definition aimed at achieving price stability. It is natural for the BOJ to emphasize the CPI.

Long-term interest rate levels reflect real economic growth, inflationary expectations and risk premium, and it may be possible to minimize the risk premium (component) through government policy.

People need to know what kind of economic conditions will ensue for their businesses. The BOJ has the obligation to explain policy clearly.
