TOKYO - The Bank of Japan kept monetary settings steady on Thursday and maintained its upbeat view on the economy, suggesting policymakers are in no hurry to boost stimulus even as global risks threaten to scupper a fragile recovery.
The decision to stand pat keeps Japan in line with the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, which have both signaled that monetary policy will be in a holding pattern for the time being. “Industrial production is falling due mainly to natural disasters,” the BOJ said in a statement announcing its policy decision, revising down its view from October when it said output was moving sideways.
But factory output suffered its largest fall in two years in October and big manufacturers’ business sentiment sank to a near seven-year low in the fourth quarter, underscoring the fragile state of Japan’s recovery.
