Bank of Japan keeps steady on monetary policy

No change in monetary easing.

Bank of Japan (BoJ) kept the pace of its monetary easing unchanged (as launched in April), and reiterated its assessment of the economy using the same language of last month in referring to continued signs of a "moderate recovery," notes BBVA.

BoJ's governor Haruhiko Kuroda also called on the government to proceed with its plans for a consumption tax hike in 2014, noting "the effect of the BoJ's easing could diminish without fiscal reforms, should its massive purchases of government bonds be taken in market as debt financing."

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
