Asahi Shimbun reports the Japanese government may revise monetary-policy wording in its draft annual economic and fiscal policy guidelines to avoid giving the impression it is pressuring the Bank of Japan. The earlier draft described the "appropriate implementation" of monetary policy as "extremely important," a phrase some read as signaling opposition to further BOJ tightening.
