Tokyo investors eye IMF, World Bank meetings

TOKYO, Oct 10 (AFP): The weekend IMF-World Bank meetings and their outlook on the global economy will be in focus for Japanese investors when their return to trading next week.
The Washington meetings are likely to focus on how to shore up growth in the world's top economies as the US Federal Reserve pulls back on its stimulus, while its counterparts in Japan and Europe consider fresh easing measures.
"Attention is being paid to what comments come from senior government officials, especially after the most recent (Fed policy meeting) minutes expressed concerns about a strong dollar," said Shinichiro Kadota, vice-president of the research department at Barclays in Tokyo.
