Kaoru Yosano Quotations

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.

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.

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.

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

I think there are probably lawmakers who are wavering and people who think it is undesirable for there to be any major, unpredictable upheaval.

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

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

Given both the real economy and people's sentiment, I would say the Japanese economy is now about to exit a dark tunnel and move in a bright direction.

Within the LDP, there are now very few who speak out as loudly (for farmers) as in the past and the number of farm-related lawmakers with rational views has grown.

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