Anyway, more:

  • Will ensure Japan emerges from deflation via wage hikes
  • Wants wage growth momentum to spread nationwide

Oh .... in other Japan news .... next year the monthly inflation data will be published a week earlier than it has been. its usually on the final Friday of each month ... one week earlier from 2018 though.

I really wish they'd release it at 2350 GMT instead of 2330 GMT. By coming out 20 minutes earlier than just about all the other Japanese official data it can cause some people (who will remain nameless but his initials are Eamonn Sheridan) to sometimes get caught off-guard.
