Additional comments

BoJ has acknowledged upside inflationary risks.

Japan likely to see wages rise in next year's wage negotiations reflecting the underlying rise in inflation heightening medium-, and long-term inflation expectations.

Rise in labour productivity likely to lead to higher real wage growth in the long run.
