TOKYO, Jan 24 (Reuters) - The head of Suntory Holdings
Ltd, Takeshi Niinami, said on Tuesday he expects next the Bank
of Japan governor to show a clear roadmap including criteria for
ending its yield-curve control (YCC) policy.
    Niinami, an influential leader who is expected to become the
next chairman of business lobby Keizai Doyukai in April, also
told Reuters that he wants to keep increasing wages for Suntory
employees as long as cost of living continues to rise, in a bid
to help their lives and to activate private-sector-led economic
growth.
