The Bank of Japan 'Summary of Opinions' comes out weeks before the minutes do.

This Summary is for the meeting March 14 and 15 2019, post is here from the announcement: BOJ announce no change to monetary policy, as expected

Highlights from the Summary:

  • must maintain powerful monetary easing as momentum for hitting price goal sustained
  • must keep current policy, watch economic developments for time being while keeping eye on side-effects of stimulus
  • must ensure fiscal, monetary policy mix is maintained
  • must take policy action pre-emptively if economic, price developments change
  • must start preparing for policy response as downside risks materialising
  • if momentum for price growth lost, BOJ should ease decisively
  • effect of additional easing, via further falls in JGB yield, may be limited compared to the past
  • monetary policy should not respond automatically to each economic swing
  • there is room to review BOJ's bond buying operation
  • downside risks to Japan's economy are clearly rising
  • Japan may see increasing sings of sliding into recession depending on overseas growth and the impact of sales tax hike

I bolded that one comment, an interesting one
