TOKYO (Reuters) - Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Thursday that the central bank would continue with massive monetary easing to achieve its 2% inflation goal while adding "it's taking time" to hit the target.
Finance Minister Taro Aso said it's natural that monetary and fiscal policy should work as one to pull Japan out of deflation completely.
Kuroda and Aso were both speaking at the same upper house committee in response to a opposition lawmaker.
