Prime Minister Shinzo Abe received a report from Mr. Taro Aso, Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Akira Amari, Minister of State for Economic and Fiscal Policy, and Mr. Masaaki Shirakawa, Governor of the Bank of Japan, at the Prime Minister's Office.
The Prime Minister said in his address,
"This joint statement is for making a bold review precisely on monetary policy towards breaking out of deflation, and I believe it is in a way a groundbreaking document in terms monetary policy. Especially with this new effort, which can also be called a regime change, we must break out of deflation.
What is important, as is also included in this joint document, is that each of us will securely fulfill our responsibility. Especially among them, I would like to ask the Bank of Japan to make an effort towards realizing the price stability goal of 2% at the earliest date possible.
In addition, I believe it is critical that the progress is thoroughly examined in the Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy from now on. I would like to ask for your cooperation."
