That is why Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda should respond accordingly if the tax increase has a deflationary impact. In doing so, he would avoid the criticism that former Bank of England Governor Mervyn King faced for supporting a consumer-tax hike in 2011 but failing to use monetary policy to offset its recessionary effects.
正因如此，如果增税导致通缩效应，日本银行行长黑田东彦应该采取相应的行动。如此，他可以避免前英格兰银行行长默文·金（Mervyn King）所面临的的批评——支持2011年消费税增加但没有用货币政策抵消其衰退效应。
