Ex BOJ Deputy Head Kiyohiko Nishimura warned that prices of many products will need to outpace the inflation target of 2.0% in order to make up for a drag on the inflation index from distorted housing costs within the gauge. ‘The BOJ may say there’s 2 percent inflation, but if ordinary people perceive it to be 3 percent, inflation expectations will be more than it predicts. That could lead to an upward spiral in inflation.’
