Would also accelerate deflation
Wrong to think that unconventional mon pol would make exit difficult

Wage growth will accelerate once deflation mind is gone
A central bank Gov needs to grasp economic theory, this is a problem not just in Japan, also US & Europe
6 trln JPY target for ETF buys different to JGB target
JGB buys are to achieve YCC, this is different to ETFs

Nonsense to tighten policy now to deal with future risk
