Monetary environment has been accommodative.
No specific pace of rate hikes in mind.
Seeing neutral rate significantly above 1%.
Underlying inflation is stabilizing around 2%.
Pace of passing costs to prices has been in line with BoJ's main scenario in July.
Will adjust monetary policy so that underlaying inflation won't exceed 2%.
Sept rate hike reflected additional data showing resilience of the economy.
Assessment of financial conditions should be comprehensive, taking into not just neutral rate but also funding demand.
