The Bank of Japan won’t need to alter its 2% inflation target as achieving it will help realise a desirable society with stable prices, Japanese Economy Minister Daishiro Yamagiwa said.

Yamagiwa also told a group of reporters in an interview that he has no intention for now of altering the aim of achieving a primary budget surplus in the fiscal year to March 2026.
