The BOJ Board meets on Monday and Tuesday.? A policy change isn?t likely because the Board eased significantly after its last meeting on October 30 and insofar as the country is in a campaign season for a parliamentary election on December 16.? The DPJ will probably cede power back to the LDP.
The Board on October 30 increased its asset purchase plan from a ceiling of 80 trillion yen to one of 91 trillion yen, which is to be fully used by end-2013.? This enhancement is explained in a an extra memo that accompanied the post-meeting statement.? The uncollateralized target call money rate was unanimously left at zero to 0.1%, a range used since October 2010.?
At the late-October Board meeting, new forecasts for growth and inflation were unveiled in the semi-annual Outlook for Economic Activity and Prices.?
Governor Shirakawa?s 5-year term expires next March 19th.? A more accommodative policy, intended partly to promote a weaker yen, is expected to be pursued by his successor.
