Whats on the economic calendar in Asia Thursday, 22 September 2022 - Bank of Japan day

The BOJ is the focus for the session. No change to policy is expected. Yesterday the Bank was aggressively into the JGB market to drive yields off recent highs. This is not a sign of a Bank ready to relent on its ultra-easy policy settings yet.

• More on the aggressive, unscheduled Bank of Japan bond-buying today

Previews:

• Goldman Sachs preview the Bank of Japan meeting (spoiler, no change expected)

• Bank of Japan monetary policy meeting - preview

• A small chance the BOJ could "rock currency and bond markets" - YCC questions Thursday

Please note that the times listed above for the BOJ are approximate only. The BOJ do not have a firmly scheduled time for their policy statement. Some time 0230 to 0330 GMT is usually a good expectation.
