Japan's economy minister says no need for overly loose monetary policy

Original: Japan does not need excessively loose monetary policy, economy minister says

Japan's economy minister said the country does not need excessively loose monetary policy, a notable comment as the Bank of Japan has maintained ultra-low interest rates for years. The remark fuels speculation about the pace of future rate normalization and draws attention to possible friction between the government and the central bank over policy direction.

Why now: Markets are watching for signals about when the Bank of Japan will move away from ultra-loose policy and raise rates.
