The Japanese yen dwindled Thursday following Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said the country can still attain inflation target.

On Wednesday, the BOJ head mentioned he is depending on a tight labor supply to increase consumer inflation toward the bank’s 2% target, as well as Chinese policy actions to bolster their sluggish exports.

The yen finished at ¥136.28 per euro and ¥120.07 per US dollar.

Kuroda added the Japanese central bank will assess both upside and downside perils to the economy and make adjustments, if needed.
