BOJ raises FY2026 real GDP forecast to +0.7% from +0.6%

A marginal upward revision to one year paired with a downward revision to the next nets out to a broadly unchanged medium-term growth picture — the kind of technical tweak that matters less for its size than for what it signals about the BOJ's confidence in domestic demand. For crypto and RWA markets, the read-through runs through the rate path rather than the growth numbers themselves, since a central bank comfortable with steady, modest expansion has less reason to shift policy abruptly. Whether this stability in the BOJ's projections survives the next round of data is the open question worth tracking.
