The Bank of Japan will wrap up its monetary policy meeting on Wednesday and then announce its decision on interest rates, highlighting a busy day for Asia-Pacific economic activity.

The trade deficit is pegged at 346.3 billion yen following the 249.6 billion yen shortfall a month earlier.

New Zealand will provide Q2 data for current account, with forecasts suggesting a deficit of NZ$790 million following the NZ$675 million shortfall in the three months prior.

Australia will see August results for its leading economic index from Westpac Bank; in July, the index rose 0.14 percent.

The central bank in Thailand will conclude its monetary policy meeting and announce its decision on interest rates; the bank is widely expected to keep its benchmark lending rate unchanged at 1.50 percent.
