    BANK of Japan (BOJ) officials view any weakness in economic growth and inflation in the second quarter as temporary and remain confident the longer-term trend is intact.

    There is no need for the BOJ to change its outlook on this trend when the policy board meets on July 14-15, according to people familiar with discussions inside the central bank.
