FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Tuesday that inflation expectations in Japan are picking up slightly.

Kuroda, speaking at a European Central Bank conference, said inflation expectations in Japan are still backward looking and were influenced by a drop in oil prices.

Kuroda also said the BOJ will continue with its strong accommodative policy.
