Most of the changes are marginal and will not show up in the actual Japanese economy for at least 3 to 6 months (a kin to a rate cut here in the US, the effects are not immediate but will come over time) The increase in money supply is to help the Japanese crawl of its deflationary spiral it has been in since their market collapsed in 1989. The funny thing is that the Japanese has a high public debt problem and increasing the inflation rate will actually solve that problem.
