• BOJ will make any needed revisions in outlook report
  • not good if prices rise and real growth doesn’t
  • prices rising with shrinking GDP gap
  • drop in oil prices is a plus for Japanese economy

Add:

  • doesn’t think recent FX moves are abnormal
  • declines to comment on specific FX levels
  • FX rate reflecting fundamentals is an economic plus

Nothing new in that stance either
