BOJ's Amamiya: BOJ has tools to ease further

Bank of Japan (BOJ) has several options available to ease policy further if required, the central bank's Deputy Governor Amamiya reportedly said on Monday. 

He added further that the bank would carefully study the impact of additional easing on the financial system before doling out extra measures. 

BOJ has been running an unprecedented stimulus program since 2013. The 2 percent inflation target, however, continues to remain elusive.
