BOJ to Raise Rates If Inflation Meets 2% Target, Says Deputy Governor Uchida

Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida stated that if inflation continues to climb towards its 2% objective, the Bank of Japan BOJ will keep hiking interest

Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida stated that if inflation continues to climb towards its 2% objective, the Bank of Japan BOJ will keep hiking interest rates. Because of increased U.S. tariffs, Japans GDP shrank for the first time in a year, which sparked worries about consumer spending and business profits. In spite of this, the BOJ supports additional hikes because it thinks underlying inflation will be stable. The central bank signalled a move away from ultraloose monetary policy in January by raising rates to 0.5%, its first increase in more than ten years. Economic developments will influence future rate decisions as Japan strikes a balance between price stability and growth. Read More..
