One member expressed the view that monetary policy had already been eased to its limit as shown by the fact that the monetary easing decided at the previous meeting on February 12 had produced little effect on corporate financing--for example, it had not brought about a decline in lending rates.
First, let me briefly review the market rate developments in recent months. The long-term interest rate on benchmark Japanese government bonds stayedat around 2.7 percent for some time after the monetary easing measure inSeptember 1995, but the rate began to rise slowly at the end of the year, and more recently has been at around 3.1 percent.
Although stock prices rose somewhat after the announcement of the monetary easing measures in March this year, they declined steadily from May onward reflecting a deterioration in business conditions and successive downward revisions of the outlook for corporate profits. Stock prices have not shown a positive response to the increase in the outstanding balance of current accounts at the Bank since August.
As for the outlook, with the progress in inventory adjustment gradually paving the way for a recovery in production, the government's economic measures and the monetary easing by the Bank will continue to underpin the economy. Improvements in the financial environment, such as the alleviation of concern about Japan's financial system, are also expected to exert positive effects on the economy gradually.
Many members agreed that(1) adjustments in economic activities, mainly in exports and production, were gradually intensifying,(2) the Bank had adopted monetary easing measures in March in anticipation of the possible emergence of severe situations like this, and(3) the effects of the monetary easing had continued to permeate steadily into financial markets.
This member, while acknowledging the existence of positive outcomes, claimed that the side effects might gradually outweigh the favorable impact if this extraordinary interest rate level was sustained over a long period. The member therefore advocated guiding the overnight call rate up to the level before the monetary easing on February 12, that is, around 0.25 percent on average.
One member commented that the monetary easing to date was possibly giving some degree of support to corporate profits and prices. The member, however, pointed out that it should be carefully monitored whether the effects of the monetary easing would reach the next stage where effective demand was stimulated.
One member noted that firms' borrowing cost had declined and the March Tankan indicated that the lending attitude of financial institutions had hardly changed. This member continued that this suggested that corporate financing conditions remained easy as a whole, and the member would watch to see the effects of the monetary easing and continue to monitor developments in stock prices, which seemed to have recovered somewhat, and their effects on the economy.
However, I considered that the side effects would outweigh the positive effects over time. I therefore continued to submit a proposal-- that is, to designate QQE as an intensive measure with a time frame of about two years, and thereafter to review the monetary easing measures in a flexible manner-- since the introduction of QQE through the Monetary Policy Meeting(MPM) held in March 2015.
Of course, Japan cannot be treated the same as other economies such as the United States, where the inflation rate is already at around 2 percent. The Bank judges at present that it is appropriate to maintain the current policy framework in which it clearly commits to the price stability target of 2 percent and pursues the monetary easing to achieve the target.
