Kuroda, speaking at the Japanese parliament, said the central bank was ready to ramp up stimulus if sharp yen rises hurt the economy and derail the path towards achieving its 2 percent inflation target.

The dollar stood little changed at 110.655 yen after dipping as low as 110.45 earlier in the day.
