IMF Predicts BOJ to Delay Rate Hikes Amid U.S. Tariff Uncertainty

Because of the uncertainty created by U.S. tariffs, the IMF believes that the Bank of Japan BOJ will postpone additional interest rate increases. In a

Because of the uncertainty created by U.S. tariffs, the IMF believes that the Bank of Japan BOJ will postpone additional interest rate increases. In addition to delaying company expenditures and affecting pay decisions, these tariffs are lowering business sentiment. By 2027, a year later than originally predicted, the IMF now projects that Japan will reach its 2% inflation objective. A drop to 0.6% for Japans economic growth outlook for 2025 reflects the difficulties caused by conflicts in global trade. After ten years of ultraloose policy, the BOJ lifted its benchmark interest rate to 0.5% in January, but the present climate might necessitate extended monetary accommodation. Read More..

India Suspends Indus Waters Treaty Following Pahalgam Terror Attack

After 26 people were killed in the Pahalgam terror incident, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty IWT with Pakistan. Signed in 1960, the pact regulates how the two countries divide the Indus River system. Since Pakistan depends on the Indus and its tributaries for water security and agriculture, Indias decision might have a big effect, which is a part of a larger response to the attack. The suspension permits India to circumvent treaty limitations, which may impact Pakistans flood and irrigation control. Indias position on watersharing agreements and crossborder terrorism has changed, albeit the decision may not have immediate repercussions because of infrastructure limitations. Read More..
