Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda on Wednesday retracted his recent remark that households are accepting price increases.
   "The remark was not at all appropriate," Kuroda told a meeting of the Financial Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Diet, Japan's parliament.
   The BOJ chief attracted strong criticism online and elsewhere after making the remark in question during a lecture on Monday.
   "I'm fully aware that households are compelled to accept higher prices with pain," Kuroda said at the Lower House committee meeting. "I'm sorry for using the misleading expression," he added.
