Bank of Japan policy board member Tamura is set to speak at 0130 GMT / 2130 US Eastern time.

Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Uchida is to speak at an annual meeting of credit unions. I don't have a time for this one. Nope, my bad. Uchida to speak tomorrow, Friday, October 17, 2025.

The IMF offered up some unsolicited advice for the Bank earlier:

• A senior IMF official has urged the BoJ to keep its monetary policy loose

I don't the the BoJ pays much attention to the IMF.

However, politics is centre stage right now, and we'll get more today:

• Japanese politics - LDP head Takaichi will hold a meeting with a minor party today
