Three years since Bank of Japan with Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda introduced quantitative and qualitative monetary easing (QQE) to pull Japan out of deflation. His initial target of a 2% inflation rate is more difficult to attain as a result of continued low consumer spending and low oil prices. There is approximately two years that the BOJ initially set as a time frame for its inflation goals has seen a series of postponements, with the deadline now pushed back two years to the first half of fiscal 2017. That’s why this event could be a blast tonight!?
