We saw this on the weeknd, but the newswires are publishing it now …

Forecasts by the Japanese government:

  • Fiscal 2013/14 real GDP +2.5%
  • Fiscal 2012/2013 real GDP +1.0%
  • Fiscal 2013/14 overall CPI +0.5%

Sound optimistic to me. But maybe there’s much more to come from the BOJ once it gets a new head in April.
