Ex-BOJ policymaker urges end to low rates and stimulus

Original: Reflationist ex-BOJ policymaker calls end to low rates, big spending

A former Bank of Japan policymaker known for reflationist views has called for an end to Japan's era of low interest rates and large-scale fiscal spending, according to a Reuters report. The intervention is notable because it comes from within the camp that long advocated aggressive monetary easing, suggesting a shift among Japanese economic thinkers as inflation pressures persist.

Why now: The reflationist camp itself turning against ultra-loose policy signals a potentially significant shift in Japan's economic policy debate.
