Fed policies won't have direct linkage to BOJ steps -BOJ official - Reuters

A senior BOJ official said on Monday that the Fed policies will not have a direct link to what the Bank of Japan (BOJ) does, but could affect BOJ's decisions via impact on the global economy.

"We're confident the Fed will steer the U.S. economy and financial conditions in a correct, positive way so that global spillovers would be quite minimal," said Yoshinori Nakata, director-general of the BOJ's International Departments.
