We expect growth of 1.4% in CY2017 and 1.2% in CY2018, well above consensus of just 0.8% growth next year. For the first time in four years both monetary and fiscal policy are supporting growth. The combination of modestly higher commodity prices, a weaker yen, and a tightening output gap should drive Japan-style core inflation to 1.0% in CY2017, and 1.4% in CY2018. We expect the BoJ to keep its rate targets unchanged for the foreseeable future as inflation moves in the right direction.
