Additional comments
BoJ has acknowledged upside inflationary risks.
Japan likely to see wages rise in next year’s wage negotiations reflecting the underlying rise in inflation heightening medium-, and long-term inflation expectations.
Rise in labour productivity likely to lead to higher real wage growth in the long run.
Even if wages rise by 3%, the BoJ will maintain its current easy policy until inflation reaches 2%.
