Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kuroda is speaking today at the quarterly meeting of BOJ branch managers. I don’t have a topic for the speech but I think its something to do with phasing out chocolate biscuits in the tea room.

Scheduled at 0030GMT

Oh, and he might mention his usual spiel that the economy is on track, steady recovery, inflation on target to meet the BOJ goal and so on. I suspect the yen will do not much (wouldn’t that be a surprise).
