Japan's Kamei Warns BOJ On Premature Tightening

[Dow Jones] Japan bank minister Kamei keeping up pressure on BOJ to maintain super-easy monetary policy, quoted on Kyodo as saying at regular news conference that BOJ needs to look more at real economy; central bank isn't expected to lift its policy rate from 0.1% anytime soon because of gloomy economic outlook, so Kamei's warning doesn't mean much for policy making now, but if Kamei's still around as a minister when BOJ gets closer to a rate hike, bank will know it will have to deal with an almost-assured opponent to any monetary tightening steps.
