Asian Economic Calendar for 19 December 2023 - Bank of Japan, Reserve Bank of Australia

It's a big day on the calendar today.

New Zealand data fills in the first few hours, and then Reserve Bank of Australia minutes follow at 0030 GMT, preview here:

• Reserve Bank of Australia December minutes due Tuesday - Q4 inflation data the key though

The key focus is the Bank of Japan. As always, there is no firmly scheduled time for the announcement, expect it between 0230 and 0330 GMT (which is 2130 - 2230 US Eastern time). Bank of Japan Governor Ueda's press conference will follow at 06030 GMT (this is scheduled).

• Bank of Japan statement is due Tuesday - preview

• The times in the left-most column are GMT.
• 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.
