Key quotes
"The late October meet (31st) is likely to be the more significant since it will include updated economic forecasts."
"Downgrades to the growth and/or inflation outlook are a prerequisite for any step up in the pace of BoJ easing, in which respect private sector economists are busy downgrading their Q3 GDP forecast from 4% to more like 2-3%, following last week’ disappointing industrial production figures."
