The Bank will continue with monetary easing so as to firmly support Japan's economy from the demand side and thereby encourage the formation of the virtuous cycle accompanied by wage increases.

Despite the decline in stock prices, I believe that the underlying technical advances that have been so important to macroeconomic developments over the last five years will continue and will provide support over time for business and consumer spending.
