BOJ’s Uchida: I won’t make any assessment on market perceptions of future rate path

  • Government, BOJ share common understanding in guiding policy
  • Inflation won’t sustainably hit 2% unless accompanied by wage growth
  • We will ensure to support the economy in order to achieve that

The emphasis again is on wages and that means everything hinges of the spring wage negotiations in March/April. If that isn’t enough to get the BOJ off their seats, then I don’t see what else will at this point.
