We would like to work with an open mind so that we can make an assessment from various perspectives and have a discussion in a productive manner on what should be done for the price stability target of 2 percent to be achieved at the earliest possible time. We intend that the comprehensive assessment will contribute to planning monetary policy going forward.
Let me conclude my speech by touching on the local economy of Kanagawa Prefecture. The prefecture is endowed with a variety of tourist attractions such as the Yokohama Minato Mirai area, Kamakura, Enoshima-Shonan, and Hakone. In addition, I have heard that it is receiving a lot of good news about the prefecture being an international tourism region.
