TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's central bank governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, does not think the direct impact of the Bank of Japan's financial market operations would be to weaken the yen, he said on Wednesday.

Kuroda's remark, made after a meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, was in response to a question whether the bank's fixed-rate bond buying operations have hastened depreciation of the Japanese currency.
