The Bank of Japan is considering boosting its consumer-price outlook to signal confidence it will meet a pledge to achieve 2 percent inflation in two years, people familiar with the central bank’s discussions said.
The BOJ may upgrade its view on price gains excluding fresh food to at least 1.5 percent from 0.9 percent for fiscal 2014 in its next forecast update on April 26, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks were private.
