A confirmed date, without a minute-level countdown
The calendar entry covers the two meeting dates in Japan. It is an all-day reminder, not an announcement scheduled at midnight. The decision is released after the meeting concludes.
Decision and outlook belong together
Read the policy-rate guideline alongside the economic and price outlook. The meeting dates do not establish whether policy will change.

Questions and answers
What time will the BOJ announce its decision?
The official schedule does not specify a fixed time. The decision is due after the meeting concludes on October 30.
Why does the calendar show an all-day event?
Only the meeting dates are confirmed. An all-day entry avoids inventing a release time.
