Discontent on BoJ board over monetary policy outlook
Concerns have emerged over the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) monetary policy, as members of the policy board expressed doubts over the ability of the central bank to hit its 2% inflation target within the forecast horizon, and warned of possible instability resulting from large asset purchases.
