DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Thursday that he was closely watching what policies U.S. President-elect Donald Trump would implement after he is sworn in.
Speaking to reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Kuroda said tax cuts and infrastructure investment in the United States would boost the growth of the world's largest economy, which will contribute to the global economy.
Kuroda also shrugged off concerns about protectionism under Trump, saying that it would not spread to such extent that would badly hurt global economy and trade.
Trump was due to be sworn in as president on Friday.
