The Bank of Japan (BOJ) released its Summary of Opinions from the July 30-31 Monetary Policy Meeting, noting that Japan's economy has recovered moderately despite some weakness from the Middle East situation. The BOJ anticipates moderate economic growth in fiscal 2026, albeit at a decelerated rate due to crude oil prices, supported by global AI-related demand and government measures. Growth is expected to accelerate from fiscal 2027 as high crude oil price effects diminish.
