The Bank of Japan minutes are from the June meeting. The Bank of Japan meeting in June produced the commitment to trim back JGB buying from the following, July, meeting:
- Will decide on specific bond buying reduction plan for the next 1-2 years at next policy meeting.
- BOJ governor Ueda says will begin tapering bond purchases immediately after July meeting
The July meeting produced that info on the JGB cut backs, along with a rate hike. The June meeting was a bit of a placeholder so the minutes today will be of some. but limited, interest.

The numbers in the right-most column are the 'prior' (previous month/quarter as the case may be) result. The number in the column next to that, where there is a number, is the consensus median expected.
I’ve noted data for New Zealand and Australia with text as the similarity of the little flags can sometimes be confusing.
