governor said the monetary easing is working. he said he was confident about achieving the inflation target, but there are reasons to be concerned. >> sharp turn around of people's sentiment, that kind of things may happen, then volatility may increase. for this to happen, boj encourage risk taking to be contained. . >> reporter: kuroda is not likely to -- nhk japan's wholesale prices
