日本央行審議委員小枝淳子：鑑於價格存在相當大的上行風險，同時金融環境仍然寬鬆，日本央行不應在提高政策利率時過於謹慎。

UK Foreign Secretary Miliband, asked about raising aid spending, said the UK is currently facing fiscal constraints.

The IMF said the UK must be candid that financing planned defence increases will require cuts to other government departments rather than sustained borrowing. London plans to raise defence spending to 3% of GDP by 2030, a move expected to require about £11 bln a year; the government has yet to explain how it will fund the rise ahead of next year’s spending review. IMF officials at their annual meeting in Bangkok warned that high debt levels make further borrowing unsustainable and said savings should come from other budgets, while tax increases could have adverse economic effects.
