Haruhiko Kuroda: Two years under QQE Speech by Mr Haruhiko Kuroda, Governor of the Bank of Japan, to the Yomiuri International Economic Society, Tokyo, 15 May 2015. *  *  *  Introduction It is a great honor to be invited to this meeting hosted by the Yomiuri International Economic Society today.
The last time I addressed this meeting, in April 2013, was immediately after the Bank of Japan’s introduction of Quantitative and Qualitative Monetary Easing (QQE). Two years have passed since then, and the economic and price situation has improved substantially under QQE.
