Most Economists See BOJ Holding Fire for Rest of 2020: Survey

Most economists expect the Bank of Japan to leave its main policy settings unchanged at next week’s meeting and through the rest of the year.

All but two of 46 economists surveyed by Bloomberg forecast the BOJ to keep policy on hold at the end of its July 14-15 meeting, the most since January. Some 63% now see the bank standing pat through 2020, up from 38% just last month.
