Post BOJ Monetary Policy Meeting - Video Conference Call

Date: Friday, 19 September 2025
Time: 09:00 GMT, 17:00 JST

We invite you to attend a post-meeting analysis following the Bank of Japan’s upcoming Monetary Policy decision, featuring insights from Shunsuke Kobayashi (Chief Economist) and Shoki Omori (Chief Desk Strategist for Rates & FX), both from Mizuho Securities, Tokyo. The session will be hosted by Evelyne Gomez-Liechti, Multi Asset Strategies, Mizuho International, London.

This month’s BOJ meeting takes place amid rising concerns over fiscal expansion following the resignation of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, with a leadership election scheduled for early next month. While recent reports from Nikkei suggest the BOJ is likely to keep its policy rate unchanged, headlines also indicate that a rate hike later this year remains a possibility. We will closely monitor the tone and messaging delivered by Governor Ueda.

The session will begin with Shunsuke sharing his views on the implications of the BOJ’s decision for the Japanese economy (15 minutes), followed by Shoki discussing the impact on Rates and FX markets, including trade ideas. The discussion will be moderated by Evelyne.

We look forward to welcoming you to this timely and insightful event.
