Qatar National Bank Predicts BOJ Rate Hikes
Qatar National Bank expects the Bank of Japan to continue tightening its monetary policy in the coming quarters, with interest rates rising to around 1.5% over the medium term, amid ongoing inflation pressures, external shocks, and currency exchange fluctuations. It also pointed out that raising the official interest rate to 1% by June 2026 reflects a gradual shift away from previous easing policies, as the Japanese central bank moves towards normalizing its monetary policy to counter rising energy costs, wages, and sustainable inflation expectations. The Bank of Japan is expected to maintain its gradual approach to monetary tightening, while continuing to support current policies that bolster economic activity.
