Bank of Japan “paradigm shift” ideas around inflation

Reuters have a long piece up on a major Bank of Japan review of past policy that “will present a paradigm shift for the central bank’s ideas around inflation”.

Summary points:

• Comprehensive review to help BOJ make case for future rate hikes
• Key message of review is that Japan is ‘ready for higher rates’
• Deputy governor highlights change in Japan’s deflationary norm
• Review won’t lead to change in price goal, policy framework

The full outcome of the review won’t be released until later this year.
