TOKYO (Reuters) - Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Tuesday expanding base money alone will not immediately lead to price rises and a heightening of inflation expectations.

"The main transmission channel of our current quantitative and qualitative easing (QQE) policy with negative interest rates on the economy is through declines in real interest rates," Kuroda told parliament.
