BOJ plans to hike interest rates
The Bank of Japan announced that it is likely to raise the benchmark interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point during its upcoming meeting in the middle of this month, in response to risks of rising inflation and increasing inflationary pressures. The market is expected to increase the interest rate from 1%, with a possibility of a half-point hike, and there is potential to accelerate monetary tightening in the future depending on economic developments. This comes after discussions with the United States regarding exchange rate stability, as the yen experienced a slight decline against the dollar to 157.08 yen, amid expectations that core inflation could reach 3% due to rising oil prices and a weakening of the local currency. The bank is monitoring external risks and energy prices to ensure inflation stability and avoid market disruptions, while forecasts indicate ongoing tensions regarding monetary policies in Japan.
