Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa claimed today that the central bank is always considering various policy options and will act in a timely and appropriate way when necessary.

Although Japanese monetary authorities are watching market moves very carefully as well as the impact of strong yen on the country’s economy, they won’t react to short-term forex and stock moves.

Further monetary easing is still possible next month, noted Shirakawa.
