Nearly half of Japanese firms say that new leadership at the central bank should revise its negative interest rate policies, while more than a quarter say its price target should be changed, according to a Reuters monthly poll.
Only 9% said the BOJ should scrap its yield curve control policy, a trading band for bond maturities that has come under increasing attack by speculators. Even so, a majority of companies, 62%, said a normalisation of monetary policy would not have a good or bad impact on their business.
Kuroda was rated in the top two quintiles by 40% of managers, compared with 14% who put in the bottom ranks.
