At this point, what else is new when it comes to the BOJ? Am I right?
I mean regardless whether or not we are in a pandemic situation, the BOJ has no room to maneuver whatsoever when it comes to policy and the goal of achieving 2% inflation is nothing but a pipe dream and will stay that way for many more years to come at least.
