Referring to this: Japan’s economy slated for another ‘checkup’ this month

• The Japanese government … is moving up the schedule of the next round of “checkups” of the country’s economy
• The Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy, chaired by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, routinely holds the so-called checkups every three months, taking a detailed look at the economy and price trends based on Bank of Japan reports
• The last meeting took place in late July, and the council is scheduled for another in October. But in light of lackluster indicators in July and August, the advisory panel will meet as early as September 16
