BOJ declares 2% inflation target achieved / deflation exit goal reached after more than 14 years; accelerates equity-asset sales, keeps rates unchanged

The story

The BOJ was reportedly said to have formally announced that inflation had reached 2% and set an exit from deflation as a long-term target. The announcement, marking a milestone 14 years in the making, is believed to reflect the continuation of policies aimed at price stability and a sustained economic recovery.

In connection with this, a policy of accelerating equity-asset sales was indicated, which is said to affect the asset composition of financial markets. At the same time, views were reported that the policy of maintaining interest rates would continue, with attention focused on short-term stability in the interest-rate environment.
