I had this earlier: What time is the BOJ announcement due?

  • There is no scheduled time for a BOJ announcement after their policy board meeting, announcements are made when the BOJ meeting finishes. There is, however, a window during which we can expect it, 0230 to 0400GMT has been about right recently.

Well … now we get this: Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kuroda to appear in parliament today

  • Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kuroda is to appear in the Japanese parliament today … from around 10:20 AM to 11:40AM local time (0120 to 0240GMT) …. The BOJ board will recess for about an hour and a half while Kuroda heads off for his parliamentary appearance

So, it looks like we might be looking at 0400-0530GMT for the BOJ announcement, I guess.
