Tokyo, July 4 (BridgeNews)- Even though the Bank of Japan is currently pursuing a historically unprecedented quantitative easing monetary policy, Vice Finance Minister for International Affairs Haruhiko Kuroda told BridgeNews Wednesday, that the central bank has room to ease monetary policy further and such a move be effective and desirable in its own way. Kuroda also said that at the Saturday Group of Seven finance ministers' meeting in Rome, participants would generally touch on monetary policy issues, but with the absence of central bank governors, no specific monetary policy recommendations will be made. The Bank of Japan must decide and execute monetary policy but the government can state its opinion as the government," Kuroda told BridgeNews during an interview. "The government isn't applying any kind of political pressure on the Bank of Japan, we only go through official means," he added
