TREE NEWS update: The Bank of Japan left its fiscal 2026 core consumer inflation forecast at +2.5%, unchanged from its July projection, while raising the fiscal 2027 view to +2.6% from +2.4%. The central bank kept its fiscal 2028 core CPI forecast at +2.0%, also unchanged from July.
BOJ keeps FY2026 core CPI forecast at +2.5%, lifts FY2027 to +2.6%
The upward revision to FY2027 while FY2026 stays put suggests the BOJ sees inflation persisting rather than fading, which matters for the timing of any further policy normalization.

Whether the FY2027 upgrade translates into a faster policy shift is the open question to watch.
